Hi,

look here:
legal module name __verbose
2 [31/4722]mh@toe:~/packages/sudo/sudo (debian/experimental|u=) $ gbp pull --verbose
gbp:info: Fetching from default remote for each branch
gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--show-cdup']
gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--is-bare-repository']
gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--git-dir']
gbp:debug: ['git', 'symbolic-ref', 'HEAD']
gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', 'refs/heads/debian/experimental']
gbp:debug: ['git', 'fetch', '--quiet']
gbp:debug: ['git', 'fetch', '--quiet', '--tags']
gbp:error: Error running git fetch:
1 [32/4723]mh@toe:~/packages/sudo/sudo (debian/experimental|u=) $ git fetch --tags
From salsa.debian.org:sudo-team/sudo
 ! [rejected] upstream/1.9.16 -> upstream/1.9.16  (would clobber existing tag)
1 [33/4724]mh@toe:~/packages/sudo/sudo (debian/experimental|u=) $

I'd expect to see that error message in gbp pull's output.

Greetings
Marc
