At a guess, it looks like you didn't push the upstream or the
prestine-tar branches to git.debian.org. git-dpm requires all branches
to be pushed, not just master.

git push --all

i.e. pykcs11_1.3.0.orig.tar.gz isn't in prestine-tar, and the upstream
branch should point to the latest upstream import
'8234fc2de2b89d65661233b357f922494590b5aa' but doesn't.

However this shouldn't have caused you errors with your working
directory unless you deleted your working directory and cloned again
from git.debian.org.

This is a known bug with git-dpm. See
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801548.

Until it is fixed, the best work around seems to be to create the tags
manually, at least until you import a new upstream version. Then the
problem will go away.
