DESCRIPTION

git-import-dsc imports a Debian source package into a Git repository, notes the package version in the commit logs, and commits the change. All information, including package name, version, Debian diffs, and upstream source is automatically detected from the source package.

OPTIONS

--upstream-branch=branch_name
The branch in the Git repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is upstream.
--debian-branch=branch_name
The branch in the Git repository the debian sources are put onto. Default is master.
--verbose
-v
verbose execution
--[no-]sign-tags
GPG sign all created tags
--keyid=gpg-keyid
use this keyid for gpg signing tags
--debian-tag=tag-format
use this tag format when tagging Debian versions, default is debian/<version>
--upstream-tag=tag-format
use this tag format when tagging upstream versions, default is upstream/<version>
--filter=pattern
filter out files glob-matching pattern. Can be given multiple times.
--pristine-tar

--download
Download the source package instead of looking for it in the local file system. The argument can either be a source-package name or an URL. The former uses apt-get to download the source while the later uses dget.
