-gbp clone
----------
-
-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.
-
-To enable this for ALL repositories cloned via 'gbp' (in the future), do
-something like the following:
-
-    $ mkdir -p ~/bin
-    $ cat >> ~/bin/gbphook-postclone <<EOF
-    #!/bin/sh
-    ## script to initialize a cloned repository
-    # - enable the "--follow-tags" mode for pushing
-    echo "tuning git-repository for ${NAME}"
-    git config push.followTags true && echo "enabled push.followTags"
-    # - ignore quilt's .pc/ directory
-    GITEXCLUDE=".git/info/exclude"
-    egrep "^/?\.pc/?$" "${GITEXCLUDE}" >/dev/null 2>&1 \
-      || (echo "/.pc/" >> "${GITEXCLUDE}" && echo "ignoring /.pc/")
-    EOF
-
-    $ chmod u+x ~/bin/gbphook-postclone
-    $ cat >> ~/.gbp.conf <<EOF
-    [clone]
-    postclone = ~/bin/gbphook-postclone
-    EOF
-
-    $ gbp clone ...
