Title:
  dgit autopkgtests broken by git 2.40

Status in dgit package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in git package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in dgit package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1033503:

  Package: dgit
  Version: 10.7
  Control: affects -1 git

  Some of dgit's tests create strange git objects, to test error
  handling.  For example, to avoid a repetition of #849041.

  git 2.40, just uploaded to unstable, has this change:

   | * "git hash-object" now checks that the resulting object is well
   |   formed with the same code as "git fsck".
   |   (merge 8e4309038f jk/hash-object-fsck later to maint).

  This was probably a good idea.  So, dgit's tests need to be updated.
  Normally I would file this bug as RC and make the necessary changes.

  
  However, we are currently in the freeze for bookworm.  Information on
  tracker.d.o suggests that git is not going to migrate to bookworm
  anyway, without an unblock from the release team.  I don't see an
  unblock request in https://bugs.debian.org/release.debian.org .

  Release team: do you think we (dgit maintainers) should update the
  test suite now, for bookworm ?  The changes would be limited to tests,
  but the new checks in git mean we'll need to take a different approach
  for some of them, which might be complex or messy.

  
  Unhelpfully, there is also #1032826, which prevents "dgit import-dsc"
  working for the current git.dsc in bookworm.  I think this situation
  is RC.  I haven't filed a bug against src:git because I think we can
  fix this just by changing the infrastructure - I'm talking to DSA
  about this - but if that turns out to be impossible, we may need to
  upload a no-source-changes src:git :-/.

  
  Thanks for everyone's attention and advice/opinions.

  Thanks,
  Ian.
