terminology git repo

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

I have just played a little bit around in terminology's git repo, trying
to import 1.2.0. I failed to produce something that looks like the
current status.

debian/README.source has some instructions but critical pieces seem to
be missing:

1. Second remote. I added one named upstream-repo.
2. Generate branches <next> and <previous>. I tried with
   git checkout -b previous v1.1.1
   git checkout -b next v1.2.0

Starting here I tried the instructions in README.source, all of which
failed at various stages. :-(

What is also missing in README.source is that after the whole hacking
around git-problems the original tarball also needs to be imported
git checkout debian/experimental && \
env DEBEMAIL=ametzler at debian.org gbp import-orig \
  --verbose --pristine-tar \
  /tmp/TERMINOLOGY/terminology_1.2.0.orig.tar.xz

I am also wondering whether it is worth the effort. Sure it sounds nice
to have a git repo that contains but upstream and Debian git history.
But is it worth the effort? Is there real benefit over just importing
the tarballs? (Personally I usually even go for a debian/-only repo.)

TIA, cu Andreas
