I finally found the time to do work on it.

During the last months I finally discovered a combination of tools that
provides me a workflow for git, which does work for me.  I now use a
combination of git-flow, for change and release management, and git-dpm,
for debian/patches and orig handling.  However, I haven't documented
that yet.  So I also imported the current state into a git, but ignored
the existing history.

The current state is:
- Repo on (ssh|git)://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xen/xen.git. As it uses
  git-flow, only the develop-branch is currently populated.
- It builds packages.
- Haven't run-tested them as my test-setup is not available.

Please add a feature-branch[1] and push it somewhere.

If you have questions or need help, you can try to grab me on irc.
