    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
    &gbp-import-orig; imports <replaceable>upstream-source</replaceable> into
    the &git; repository. <replaceable>upstream-source</replaceable> can either
    be a gzip, bzip2, lzma or xz compressed tar archive, a zip archive, or an
    already unpacked source tree. If it is already of the form
    <replaceable>package-name_version.orig.tar.gz</replaceable>, the version
    information is read 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>).

            How to fold the newly imported upstream source to the

	  <para>
	    The default mode
	    <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>.

          The branch in the &git; repository the &debian; package is being

          Add <replaceable>tag-format</replaceable> as additional parent to the

          want to link to its revision history. The
          <replaceable>tag-format</replaceable> can be a pattern similar to
          what <option>--upstream-tag</option> supports.

	    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. Note that this option can't be set via &gbp.conf;
	    since it's considered an experimental feature and might
	    change incompatibly.

          Whether to create and keep a symlink from the upstream tarball

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