Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.31
Severity: wishlist

When importing a new upstream tarball, I frequently forget to pass
--upstream-vcs-tag=vX.Y.Z .

It would be ideal if import-orig had an option upstream-vcs-tag-pattern
akin to upstream-tag, or add pattern support to upstream-vcs-tag.

The point would be to be able to set this in debian/gbp.conf:

[import-orig]
upstream-vcs-tag = v%(version)s

So that running gbp import-orig would:

0. Substitute the current version into the tag pattern
1a. If a tag vX.Y.Z is found, merge it
1b. If the tag vX.Y.Z is not found, abort with an error.

What do you think?
