+gbp clone
+---------
 
-git-tuneclone.sh
-----------------
+Starting with gbp>0.8.1, here's a simple way to automatically fine-tune the
+repository in the following ways:
+- make git ignore any .pc/ directory (created by quilt)
+- enable the "--follow-tags" when running 'git-push', so it's harder
+  to forget to push packaging tags along with the branches.
 
-This package comes with a script 'debian/git-tuneclone.sh'.
-Running it after a fresh clone of the packaging repository
-will fine-tune your local copy, namely:
-- make git ignore any .pc/ directory (created by quilt)
-- enable the "-follow-tags" when running 'git-push', so it's harder
-  to forget to push packaging tags along with the branches.
-- do an initial checkout of the 3 packaging branches (master, pristine-tar,
-  upstream)
-The script only needs to run once (though running it multiple times shouldn't
-matter).
-You are of course free to *not* run the script, if you prefer.
+To enable this for ALL repositories cloned via 'gbp' (in the future), do
+something like the following:
