This makes it easier to generate patches that apply with the usual patch -p1, and to cross-develop with (cherry-pick to/from) repositories such as the Debian packaging repository at https://salsa.debian.org/postfix-team/postfix-dev.


Alternative to this PR:

  • Create a new upstream branch that has the non-prefixed and unmodified contents of each release tarball (no .gitignore).
  • Whenever upstream is updated, perform a subtree merge into master:
    git checkout master && git merge -Xsubtree=postfix/ upstream

This makes it easier to generate patches that apply with the usual
`patch -p1`, and to cross-develop with (cherry-pick to/from)
repositories such as the Debian packaging repository at
