Sure, I am doing it.  Please, note that I am not subscribed to the ML, so
keep Cc:s to me.  Should I also keep your address in Cc:?

Great, thanks.

I suggested that you use gbp-clone, since this command sets up tracking
branches for the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches. Is this the
case for your local repository? You can check it in .git/config.

Indeed, "ci" is an alias defined in my ~/.gitignore that corresponds to
"commit".  Sorry for the confusion.

I fixed it by adding the appropriate hooks/post-receive file.  I also
added the hooks/post-update, which many other debian-med packages have.
