Hi, I'm trying to import am existing package in git, with the caveat that I already set up the upstream branch and tags -- I want to base it off upstream's git history, so I can easily cherry-pick patches. Unfortunately, when running `gbp import-dscs --debsnap` I ran into two issues: 1. The current content of the branch are overwritten, including debian/gbp.conf, and so gbp stops observing parameters set there. It is easily worked around by passing those parameters on the CLI, but gbp should probably read its configuration once and keep it in memory through the whole execution. 2. gbp import-dscs will overwrite existing upstream branch and tags. The behaviour I expected would have been to keep the existing tags, and import the content of debian/ in the packaging branch (along with adding the necessary data for pristine-tar). Am I simply using gbp wrong, or is this legitimately a bug? If so, are you aware of a possible workaround?
