I have no idea why lintian-brush believes that there are pending
changes...

It looks like this is due to line ending conversions; probably a
bug/lack of support for the feature in dulwich.

Hi,

I have the problem in another repository (scapy) and it seems
effectively related to EOL characters conversion as requested
by .gitattributes:

$ lintian-brush --verbose
/home/rhertzog/deb/pkg/security/scapy: Please commit pending changes first.
modified:
  doc/scapy/make.bat
  run_scapy.bat
  test/run_tests.bat
$ cat .gitattributes
scapy/__init__.py	export-subst
* text=auto
*.bat text eol=crlf

Cheers,
