SYNOPSIS
git-import-orig [ --verbose ] [ --upstream-version=version ] [ --no-

DESCRIPTION
git-import-orig imports upstream-source into the Git repository.
upstream-source can either be a gzip or bzip2 compressed tar archive or
an already unpacked source tree. If it is already of the form package-
name_version.orig.tar.gz, the version information is read from the
tarball's filename otherwise it can be given on the command line via
--upstream-version.
The sources are placed on the upstream branch (default: upstream),
tagged and merged onto the debian branch (default: master).
