git makes reverting breakage easy, unless you try really hard to be 
destructive.

There are no changes on your pristine-tar branch, if you used uscan to 
download the new upstream tarball and gbp import-orig to import it, 
you'd have these changes as debian/gbp.conf is configured to do the 
right thing.

This is what I did for the new upstream release:

  # Download new upstream tarball
  uscan --verbose

  # Import tarball in upstream branch,
  # add checkum to pristine-tar branch,
  # merge upstream tag into master branch
  gbp import-orig ../tirex_0.7.1.orig.tar.gz

  # Update debian/changelgo
  dch -v 0.7.1-1
  <Add "New upstream release." entry in the appropriate place>
  debcommit -a

  # Refresh patches
  quilt push && quilt refresh
  <Patch 0001-....patch can be reverse-applied>
  quilt delete 0001-Make-sure-usr-libexec-directory-extists.patch && git 
rm debian/patches/0001-Make-sure-usr-libexec-directory-extists.patch
  quilt push && quilt refresh
  quilt pop -a
  rm -rf .pc
  dch -a
  <Add "Refresh patches." entry in the appropriate place>
  debcommit -a

  # Perform test build
  gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder
  <Notice lintian error: alien-tag>
  vi debian/tirex.lintian-overrides
  <Remove the now alien tag>
  dch -a
  <Add "Update lintian overrides." entry in the appropriate place>
  debcommit -a

  # Push changes to Salsa
  git push --all && git push --tags

How does this procedure differ from what you did to package the new 
upstream release?

Kind Regards,

Bas
