[git-buildpackage] [ANNOUNCE] git-buildpackage 0.9.23

[Guido Günther]

Hi,
I'm happy to announce the release of git-buildpackage 0.9.23:

    https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/git-buildpackage/tag/?id=debian/0.9.23

Here's a list of changes:

git-buildpackage (0.9.23) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Michael Prokop ]
  * [4d15467] zsh completion: update completion for "pull" and further new
    commands. Provide zsh completion for new commands config, export-orig,
    import-ref, pristine-tar,push, tag. While at it, also extend completion
    for `gbp pull`.
.
  [ Andrej Shadura ]
  * [434d558] import-dsc: Delete NULs from dpkg-parsechangelog output before
    parsing. Commit messages may not contain NUL characters; in practice,
    Debian changelogs sometimes do, usually as the result of incorrectly used
    encoding for non-ASCII personal names.  As a safety net, delete all NULs
    from the output of dpkg-parsechangelog before parsing it, so that they
    don’t get fed into Git or anything else further in the processing.
    (Closes: #981340)
  * [0d21789] clone: Don’t check out the Debian branch if it doesn’t exist
  * [b17c14a] gbp.git: Change list_tree to return an iterator.
    When working with huge trees, we want to avoid consuming large amounts
    of memory just to throw away most of it almost immediately when we only
    need one entry or a few of them.
  * [3fa9f4d] gbp.git: Add support for long listing format (with object sizes)
    This is useful to be able to scan a tree for a specific file
    but only act if it’s non-empty.
  * [8e0e7cc] repo_setup: Add check/setup_gitattributes
    setup_gitattributes() sets up .git/info/attributes in a way to prevent
    transformations from interfering with packaging, because the working tree
    files can differ from the Git revision history (and from the source
    packages).
    Similar functionality has been implemented by dgit and git-deborig, so we
    try to stay compatible and re-use the name of the attribute macro. Since
    dgit doesn’t disable export-subst and export-ignore, which may interfere
    with export-orig, we add this on top the same way git-deborig does.
    dgit used to have an older preset missing some of the attributes, so if
    we find those, we disable them.
    The user, should they choose so, still can re-enable the attributes
    disabled in this way by adding more specific rules further in the
    .git/info/attributes file.
  * [20052e1] clone: Add --defuse-gitattributes.
    On clone, disable Git attributes that may interfere with building
    packages shipping .gitattributes *iff* they ship those files.
    Set to auto by default, can also be turned off completely or
    can be performed unconditionally.
  * [7a9079a] scripts: Add setup-gitattributes subcommand.
    The setup-gitattributes subcommands overrides Git attributes
    unconditionally, without verifying first the package ships any
    .gitattributes files.
  * [660c027] docs: gbp-clone: Document --defuse-gitattributes.
    Describe concisely what the option does; a longer description
    will go into a separate manpage.
  * [85b0b65] docs: Add a manpage for gbp setup-gitattributes.
    Describle how and why the attributes are being disabled, refer
    to dgit, git-deborig and Git documentation; add a reference to
    the gbp-clone manpage.
  * [0621195] d/control: Add the new subcommand to the package description
  * [acd81c9] d/control: Capitalise Git throughout the package descriptions
  * [6a53c23] scripts: Make setup_gitattributes future-proof
    * Add --all (default) and --[no-]dgit-defuse-attrs to enable
      adding more options in future.
    * Rewrite the manual page to reflect the change in approach.
    * Error out when running with no presets enabled
  * [b29f355] Install the setup_gitattributes script
  * [6ab3421] Add tests for setup-gitattributes functionality
.
  [ Jonathan Rubenstein ]
  * [d50d590] Add info about --git-ignore-branch when not on branch
    (Closes: #956491)
.
  [ Emanuele Aina ]
  * [fc56884] dch: Add support for the --local=suffix option
    (Closes: #857370)
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * [d6a92cc] tests: Match the correct files in filter tests.
    Verify we match at all by adding a positive test as well
  * [35d91d5] setup.py: Avoid dpkg-parsechangelog.
    This helps on non-debian systems
  * [c341c19] setup.py: Allow for more liberal version numbers.
    Otherwise this causes trouble for backports, downstreams, etc.
  * [82bb712] spec: Install setup-git-attributes command.
    This unbreaks the autopkgtest
  * [f48e18c] spec: Switch requires to python3 too.
    Thanks to Quanah Gibson-Mount
  * [e34e595] docs: Use either python3 or python.
    Some distros (such as Debian) don't ship a /usr/bin/python anymore
.
  [ Logan Rosen ]
  * [a54baad] tests/11_test_dch_main.py: Fix OS release check for Ubuntu.
    (Closes: #983204)
.
  [ Arnaud Ferraris ]
  * [0a03572] manpages: fix gbp-setup-gitattributes
  * [3f8a58c] repo_setup: fix documentation generation
    docstring format for bullet lists requires a leading dash. This fix
    prevents build failures when running `make docs`.
.
  [ Quanah Gibson-Mount ]
  * [d5e2096] gbp-builder-mock: Update to work with current mock releases
  * [3a6b629] Fix gbp-builder-mock to honor configured options for mock
  * [3adf602] setup.py: Explicitly open the changelog file as utf-8
  * [c97aeda] docs: Check for docbook2man too
  * [d32fdb4] spec: Ignore byte-compiled python files
  * [3151247] spec: Fix rpm build on centos7 and centos8
