Hi,
I tried
git clone git://github.com/hanke/sigar.git
but there is no debian/ dir in the repository. Am I missing something?

I admit I have close to zero experience with git (but I'm willing to
learn). So I can not see in how far it has an advantage to have the
repository which is targeting at Debian packaging close to upstream
repository. As far as I understood the workflow is:
1. Import pristine-tar of *released* upstream tarball (not every
single commit of their development cycle).
2. Maintain debian/ dir and tag every Debian package release
which does not belong into upstream source (nor its repository)
So what exactly is the point in staying close to upstream repository?
Kind regards
Andreas.
