[This file is a template for some explanatory text that you might wish to
 include somewhere in your git repository if you use the debcherry export
 hook to create a quilt patch series. It doesn't really need to be a part
 of the exported package, since this is only relevant to people exporting
 source directly from git, so it can be export-ignore'd in .gitattributes
 if you use those.]

If you are reading this from a Debian source package, you can stop now;
this package should build normally after extracting with dpkg-source -x.
The rest of this file gives some hints about generating source packages
from the packaging git repository.

This repository has patches to upstream source included in the packaging
branch.  In order to generate a source package, you have several choices:

To generate an old-style single patch package, you can use dpkg-source or
e.g. gitpkg without any special preparation (with the possible exception
of adding "single-debian-patch" to debian/source/local-options).

In order to have patches exported individually at source package creation
time, you can enable git-debcherry. After installing gitpkg-0.25 or later,
see /usr/share/gitpkg/hooks/debcherry-deb-export-hook and its associated
documentation in the gitpkg(1) and git-debcherry(1) man pages.

[You may wish to include more precise details of what things are on what
 branches and what configuration options to add for your repository too.]
