+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ &gbp-import-orig; imports upstream sources into a &git;
+ repository. It can import from three sources:
+ </para>
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <replaceable>filename</replaceable>: A file in the local
+ file system. Gzip, bzip2, lzma and xz compressed tar
+ archives, zip archives and already unpacked source trees are
+ supported.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <replaceable>url</replaceable>: The tarball is downloaded
+ from a <replaceable>http</replaceable>
+ or <replaceable>https</replaceable> <replaceable>url</replaceable>.
+ This needs the python-request package installed.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--uscan</option>: The latest upstream version is fetched
+ via &uscan; relying on <filename>debian/watch</filename>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+ <para>
+ If the tarballs name is already of the form
+ <replaceable>package-name_version.orig.tar.gz</replaceable>, the
+ version information is determined from the tarball's filename,
+ otherwise it can be given on the command line
+ via <option>--upstream-version</option>. If the source package
+ name or version can't be determined, &gbp-import-orig; will
+ prompt for it unless <option>--no-interactive</option> is given.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The sources are placed on the upstream branch (default:
+ <replaceable>upstream</replaceable>), tagged and merged onto the
+ debian branch (default: <replaceable>master</replaceable>). This
+ is either done using plain <command>git merge</command>
+ or by creating a new tree that consists of the new
+ upstream version plus the <filename>debian/</filename>
+ directory. The later is used for source format 3.0
+ (quilt) packages since direct modifications of the upstream
+ sources are not allowed in that format and so a 1:1 replacement
+ of the upstream sources is almost always desired. It can
+ be tweaked via the <option>--merge-mode</option>.
+ </para>
+ <para>In case of an error &gbp-import-orig; will rollback (undo)
+ all changes it has done to the repository (see
+ the <option>--rollback</option> option).
+ </para>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ How to fold the newly imported upstream source to the
+ &debian; packaging branch after import.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <replaceable>merge</replaceable> does a
+ &git; <command>merge</command> leaving you on your own in
+ case of merge conflict resolution.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <replaceable>replace</replaceable> mode on the
+ other hand makes the head of the &debian; packaging branch
+ identical to the newly imported tree but preserves the
+ content of the <filename>debian/</filename> directory
+ while keeping the current head as well as the newly
+ important trees as parents of the generated commit. This is
+ similar to a <option>theirs</option> merge strategy while
+ preserving <filename>debian/</filename>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The default is <replaceable>auto</replaceable> which
+ uses <replaceable>replace</replaceable> for 3.0 (quilt) packages
+ and <replaceable>merge</replaceable> otherwise.

+ <term><option>--upstream-branch</option>=<replaceable>branch_name</replaceable>

+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--debian-branch</option>=<replaceable>branch_name</replaceable>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The branch in the &git; repository the &debian; package is being
+ developed on, default is <replaceable>master</replaceable>. After
+ importing the new sources on the upstream branch, &gbp-import-orig;
+ will try to merge the new version onto this branch.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--upstream-vcs-tag</option>=<replaceable>tag-format</replaceable>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Add <replaceable>tag-format</replaceable> as additional parent to the
+ commit of the upstream tarball. Useful when upstream uses git and you
+ want to link to its revision history. The
+ <replaceable>tag-format</replaceable> can be a pattern similar to
+ what <option>--upstream-tag</option> supports.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>

+ <term><option>--filter=</option><replaceable>pattern</replaceable>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ filter out files glob-matching pattern. Can be given multiple times.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--component=</option><replaceable>COMPONENT</replaceable>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ When importing the upstream tarball also look for an additional tarball
+ with component name <replaceable>COMPONENT</replaceable>. E.g. in
+ <filename>hello-debhelper_1.0.orig-foo.tar.gz</filename>
+ the component would be <replaceable>foo</replaceable>. The additional
+ tarball is expected to be in the same directory than the upstream tarball
+ and to use the same compression type.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Using additional original tarballs is a feature of the 3.0
+ (quilt) source format. See
+ the <command>dpkg-source</command> manpage for
+ details. This is currently considered an experimental
+ feature and might change incompatibly.

+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This is a good idea if not using <command>pristine-tar</command>
