Hello, I believe I can reproduce this problem.
What I was doing is try to create a git packaging history for the three releases of jitsi that made it into Debian so far. I had previously made a repo of some of the packages from mentors.d.n and had made some commits to improve the packaging. Therefore, I did not want to loose those commits while otherwise essentially restarting from scratch. I renamed the master and debian branch, dropped the pristine-tar branch and then went ahead to import the dsc files. Thus, the repo had no debian or master branch when I started to run the import command. At the time, I was on a local branch called wip. Even though I used --create-missing-branches, only upstream branch was successfully created. When it was the turn for the debian branch I got the error "gbp:error: Git command failed: revision 'master' not found". I again deleted the master and debian branch and the one tag for upstream. Before repeating the process of importation this time after reading Björn's excellent comments I did a "git checkout --orphan master" and then git-import-dsc. This time, things went smoothly. FWIW, I am using 1:1.7.9.5-1 on Ubuntu precise. Thank you for your consideration. Regards Rolf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
