It seems you've put everything into the master branch.  This is bad - 
and becomes tricky to clean up later, so much better if you do it 
properly from the beginning:

   1. Take your upstream hat on
   2. Release a tarball (with debian subdir stripped)
   3. Take your Debian distributor hat on
   4. Rename tarball to LOWERCASE-UPSTREAM-PROJECT_VERSION.orig.tar.gz
   5. Create a folder LOWERCASE-UPSTREAM-PROJECT
   6. Enter that folder
   7. Initialize git: git init
   8. Import renamed tarball:
      git-import-orig --pristine-tar --sign-tags ../LOWERCASE-UPSTREAM-PROJECT_VERSION.orig.tar.gz
   9. Add debian subdir
  10. create empty git at Alioth...
  11. push all local data: git push --all; git push --tags


Hope that helps :-)
