reprepro includedsc option does not work with multiple dsc files

[Quanah Gibson-Mount]

While it is possible to sign and include multiple deb files with reprepro, using a command like:

reprepro -b /var/repositories/apt/90 -C zimbra includedeb precise *.deb

It is not possible to do this with multiple dsc files. I.e.,

reprepro -b /var/repositories/apt/90 -C zimbra includedsc precise *.dsc

will throw an error if there is more than one .dsc file for signing/inclusion. This is particularly annoying when attempting to import a large number of packages that do not have dependencies on one another.

I can confirm the issue. It still exists in the current Ubuntu 20.04.4. Adding multiple .deb files works fine, trying to add multiple .dsc and .changes files fails.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release: 20.04

$ apt-show-versions | grep reprepro
reprepro:amd64/focal-updates 5.3.0-1.3~ubuntu20.04 uptodate
