I would suggest `gbp import-git`, which is consistent with `import-*` also the "git-ref" can be parsed as an option, so we can store it in gbp.conf. And I suggest the `--filter` option can also be remained, when importing from upstream git. Besides, adding an option like `--filter-with-copyright` to indicate filtering files from "Files-Excluded" in d/copyright file. -- Shengjing Zhu
