Hi Jorge, for packages where there is an upstream Git repository, and especially when their release tarballs are identical to their Git tags, I do not use git-import-orig anymore. I just use the full upstream master branch as gbp upstream branch (you can either use the name ‘upstream’ or the original name after editing debian/gbp.conf accordingly), and I register the upstream source archive using the pristine-tar command directly. This way we get the best of both worlds: a layout fully compatible with the use of git-buildpackage with pristine-tar, and the full upstream commit history. See http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html#updating-git-package if you are interested in following that way, and feel free to suggests enhancements to that section.
