git-dpm requires that you always use its tools. If another maintainer
got confused and used another toolset to upgrade the upstream version,
things could get messy.

I did see it happen from time to time that the previous maintainer would
leave the repository in a weird state that could only be fixed
(unfortunately) with a git rebase.
