-be a good idea.
-
-dgit push should perhaps do `git push origin', or something similar,

-Debian does not have a working rmadison server, so to find out what
-version of a package is in the archive, or to canonicalise suite
-names, we ssh directly into the ftpmaster server and run psql there to
-access the database.

-ideas about access control. Currently only DDs can push.

--dry-run does not always work properly, as not doing some of the git
fetches may result in subsequent actions being different. Doing a
non-dry-run dgit fetch first will help.
