Dear Maintainer,

I realized that uscan does not expect user to have custom git config, eg:

$ tail -2 ~/.gitconfig
[core]
	abbrev = 12

This leads to the following libjpeg package:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libjpeg

Where: 0.0~git20190821.87636f3b26b4-1 was generated, but it is expected to be truncated to only 6 chars.

See for instance the report on the watch page:

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=malat@debian.org

0.0~git20190821.87636f3

Someone should be able to pass in the proper core.abbrev value in uscan source code.

Thanks
