It would have saved me some time. I don't really think "so you can
remove it" follows from "is not needed with dgit push". People use
dpkg-source outside dgit, and may have legitimate reasons for including
a tar-ignore option. In the case of notmuch it is used to prevent a
seperately downloadable performance corpus (400MB) from being included
in the debian source package. There might well be other ways to
accomplish the same goals, but every change required is a barrier to
using dgit.
