Importing already existing Debian packages

Imporing an already exsting debian package into a git repository is as easy as:

git-import-dsc package_0.1-1.dsc
    

This will put the upstream sources onto the upstream branch and the debian patch on the master branch. In case of a debian native package only the master branch is being used. You can specify different branch names via the --upstream-branch and --debian-branch options.
