version in VCS is newer than in repository, is it time to upload? normal
vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 2.26.7, distribution UNRELEASED) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:
commit 511c8fcbaa3613d469120513b65e8dedd8dea2ef
Author: Arnaud Rebillout <arnaudr@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Feb 26 18:20:28 2026 +0700

    chdist completion: Add missing commands and options
    
    Ie. add --version, apt-file and build-rdeps.
    
    And take this chance to indent variable declarations properly, re-order
    a bit so that it looks better.

commit e4ae751043bf16091ef82badec9eb4139741306c
Author: Arnaud Rebillout <arnaudr@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Feb 26 18:17:18 2026 +0700

    chdist completion: Properly handle the two different syntaxes
    
    Ie. propose only dists when using the syntax `chdist COMMAND ...`, and
    propose only commands when using the syntax `chdist DIST ...`
    
    Because the lists of commands and dists contain a mix of spaces and
    newlines as word separator, it was a bit tricky to get the regex right,
    and yes we really need `[[:space:]]` here as it matches both spaces and
    newlines.

commit bc92f3d9085784f6f59a8e726d3a30996e1f29a3
Author: Arnaud Rebillout <arnaudr@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Feb 26 18:11:59 2026 +0700

    chdist completion: Cosmetics
    
    Move away from the syntax `-@...`, as recommend in bash-completions
    doc/styleguide.md. Also take this chance to indent the case statement
    properly, before it was a mess.
    
    Also run 'complete' only if the function definition succeeded, as is
    traditionally done in other completion scripts.

commit f7b79d27e53b980741e0dc6e047a4396e5fc316e
Author: Arnaud Rebillout <arnaudr@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Feb 26 18:23:14 2026 +0700

    chdist: Minor reorder of options in usage and man page
    
    Order options alphabetically.
    
    Move the 'list' command just below 'create', as both commands are about
    managing chdists and go naturally together.

commit e77f776d6d8db3ea134757cedb0c08e73e747462
Author: Jochen Sprickerhof <jspricke@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Mar 9 13:30:06 2026 +0100

    Start 2.26.7 development.
    
    d/changelog entries will be written on release
