[Bug 399825] [NEW] git-import-dsc incorrectly creates upstream branch (includes the /debian dir)

[Ryan Pavlik]

Public bug reported:

If you import a dsc directly to create a new repository, it will put the
/debian dir in the upstream branch (".orig.tar.gz") so you've now broken
the original tarball as well as your ability to upgrade over an existing
source package (orig tarball doesn't match checksums)

Workaround:
mkdir packagename
cd packagename
git init
git-import-orig ../packagename_ver.orig.tar.gz
git-import-dsc ../whatever.dsc

then git branch to make sure you're on the master branch, git add all
the changes, git commit, and now you are on your way.

Using Jaunty amd64
