Hi,

I use the script in the following way. I have a branch mydebian, which  
is the debian branch with this script and a file called  
wsh-topic-branches added. wsh-topic-branches contains one branch name  
per line and to start, it is sufficient to have there only "master".  
To build the package, I checkout the mydebian branch I run the script.  
It merges all the branches I want to use (the result is called  
integration/all) and builds the package from the result of the merge.

If you only want to use master branch, it is probably easier to do  
something like:

git checkout debian
git merge master
git-dch ...
git-buildpackage ...

Instead of ... write the parameters from the script and replace  
"integration/all" by "debian".

I write this email from a comuter where I don't have notmuch sources,  
so I cannot test the above. It is possible it will be necessary to  
tweak some parameters of git-*.

Cheers,
Michal
