+Working with the Debianized libmongo-client
+===========================================
+
+The package is meant to be built from a git checkout, the original
+tarballs are git snapshots aswell.
+
+Since I'm also upstream for the package, the upstream branch for
+git-buildpackage has been set to the 'stable' branch, while the Debian
+branch remained the default: 'debian'. This is set in the
+debian/gbp.conf file. If one wants to build a snapshot of master, that
+file will need an edit too.
+
+Other than this, whenever a new upload is finalised, the stable branch
+gets merged into the debian branch, and all is well: the Debian branch
+should contain the debianised sources, with all changes already
+applied, based on whichever upstream source is appropriate.
