Are you sure you are using format 3.0?

Previously I used this:

   git-buildpackage --git-builder="localdebuild -i\.git/ -I.git

With dpkg-source format 3.0 implicitly suppressin both .git and other 
niftyness, I switched to this:

   git-buildpackage --git-builder="localdebuild

...but need to switch back whenever I need to build a package not in 3.0 
format.


Also, is the change commited to git?  And is it added in the Debian 
overlay or an extension to a .gitignore already existing in upstream 
source?  What are the actual package + command used?
