In an empty repo (just 'git checkout -b master' after a git init), running

git-dpm import-dsc /path/to/pkg.dsc

will marely populate the master branch, *without* creating the 'upstream' branch
and thus without importing the upstream source code.

This is counter-intuitive, dangerous and the opposite of what all the other
tools to manage git repo do.
