Uh, I don't think that's a problem. Git is easy because you can move
directories out of the way, and you're done (i.e. your repo is still there,
I haven't touched it at all)
What I mean is the "git-buildpackage" layout, i.e.
master # where Debian development happens, i.e. debian/
pristine-tar # where pristine-tar deltas are stored
upstream # where upstream sources are kept, to be merged in
"master"
This eases tracking upstream versions, and managing multiple uploads to
Debian (let's say: sid (master), experimental, backports, [..] (all these in
separate branches mimicking "master" and "upstream")

I don't think I easily can, but I should try.
Was mapnik-old.git (the one you pushed) generated/converted from some other
repo? Or was it your main development repo?
Thank you for replying :)
Kindly,
David
