Name

git-import-orig -- Import an upstream source into a git repository

Synopsis

git-import-orig [--verbose] [--upstream-version=version] [--no-merge] [--upstream-branch=branch_name] [--debian-branch=branch_name] [--upstream-version=version] [--sign-tags] [--keyid=gpg-keyid] [--upstream-tag=tag-format] [--filter=pattern] upstream-source

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).
