Yes, sure. But it starts off a repository by taking the latest .dsc file and generating a commit out of it. The cool thing about how it generates the commit, is that it's reproducible and generates stable SHA-1 id by setting GIT time variables & author variables from the .dsc. Such that it doesn't matter who/where/when runs the import as the commit tree / commit id will be the same (well sans parenting information, but that could be easily fixed with graft points) Regards, Dmitrijs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
