Comment 1 for bug 1713549

We don't currently support building outside of dpkg-buildpackage itself. If
dpkg-buildpackage complains about untracked modifications to the source,
that is a fatal error, switching the working tree won't help afaict?

If you can provide a few more details that will help with reproducing the
feature request (which will probably be post-1.0). What does `git status`
say? Can you provide the log file from that message and the complete
message?
