Before pushing to git.debian.org for the first time, an empty repository
needs to be created there. To do this, use the *setup-repository* .
Run it similarly to:
$ ssh git.debian.org
$ cd /git/debian-med/
$ ./setup-repository libfoo-pkg 'Packaging of FOO in Debian'
This will create an empty, bare, shared Git repository and setup some hooks.
Now, on your local machine add the alioth repository as a remote:
$ git remote add origin
ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/packages/libfoo-pkg.git
Then push to it:
$ git push --all --set-upstream
$ git push --tags
The |--set-upstream| option helps future use of |git pull|.

almost the same is written in the debian-med policy but I liked the way
it is written here :)
