Nice. :)

So you could just push unstable, and I could eventually trash all
other branches on alioth? OK, stupid me, I forgot to set the
hooks/post-receive script, and there were no mail notification (to the
-commits list). I've just seen unstable is pushed and other branches are
gone. Nice. :)

OK, I'll see that in a tiny while.

Usually, once I've cloned, branched, checkouted, I use tar to extract
the usptream sources in the current directory, like this:
  tar xfz ../package_version.orig.tar.gz --strip 1

Then hack, commit, etc. And build with “debuild -us -uc -b” (eventually
with “-nc”). To get the source package, just add the “-i” option to
“debuild -us -uc -S”, so that .git (amongst others) gets ignored.

If you want to restart from scratch, without ever looking back, just use
“git-checkout -f” to forget about changes in git-tracked files. To get
rid of every file and directory (*DANGEROUS*), “git-clean -x -d”. Beware
that sometimes, you're adding some files to git (debian/foo), but if you
didn't run git-add on it at this point, it's lost. You're warned. But
that's extremely useful with some habit.

OK. Quite strange, I seem to recall I have at least one package using
uscan from debian/rules, with version mangling. I'll check once you've
pushed your branch.

Note that get-orig-source only has to be there when you're repacking
(because pruning non-free files) the tarball. Otherwise, just having a
debian/watch file and running uscan (possibly with --force-download
--rename) is very sufficient.

Maybe transient glitches? Anyway, running uscan several times does the
trick, that's not a huge problem anyway.
