To make 4) behave like 1) or 2), you have to add the following parameter:
filter-pristine-tar = True
This will filter upstream's tarball before importing it into the Git
repository.
So a complete snippet would be:
[DEFAULT]
pristine-tar = True
filter-pristine-tar = True
filter = [
"src/file1.jar",
"src/lib/file2.jar"
]
(pristine-tar parameter is only useful if you use a pristine-tar branch)
