Here is what I have tried: $ git branch -a * master upstream remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/upstream $ TMPDIR=/var/tmp git import-orig --pristine-tar ../../Replication/vista-foia_0.20130405.orig.tar.gz What is the upstream version? [0.20130405] gbp:info: Importing '../../Replication/vista-foia_0.20130405.orig.tar.gz' to branch 'upstream'... gbp:info: Source package is vista-foia gbp:info: Upstream version is 0.20130405 xdelta: warning: no matches found in from file, patch will apply without it error: excessively large binary delta for /var/tmp/pristine-tar.bC1wZJOkad/origtarball (Please consider filing a bug report.) pristine-tar: failed to generate delta gbp:error: Couldn't commit to 'pristine-tar' with upstream 'upstream': /usr/bin/pristine-tar returned 1 gbp:error: Import of ../../Replication/vista-foia_0.20130405.orig.tar.gz failed: $ pwd /home/ibanez/src/debian-med/SecondPass/PristineTar/vista-foia-0.20130405 It may well be, that I'm not properly matching the directory name yet....
