The dahdi-firmware git repository on salsa

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Dear dahdi-firmware maintainers,

I did a new upload of dahdi-firmware to add the missing AppStream
metadata XML, and in the process I had a look at the git repository on
salsa.  The git repository is not up to date with the latest uploads,
and I was unable to figure out how to use it as the basis for a new
upload.

The problem I found is that 'gbp import-dsc' did not add changes in the
expected flow in the master branch.  I suspect this is related to the
fact that the debian/2.10.0-1 tag and others do not apply to the master
branch, but some other non-branch flow that seem to be imported from a
subversion repository.  I got the impression that the git repository is
an incomplete migration from subversion to git, with tags not placed in
the correct branch.

Perhaps you know better how to fix this?

I ended up uploading without modifying the git repository, similar to
the NMUs already done to the package.  I did a source only upload
yesterday, as I did not notice autobuilders would not pick it up, and a
binary only upload a few minutes ago to fix the missing build.
