What will be the source package name? [gxplugins]
What is the upstream version? [1.0]
gbp:error: The orig tarball contains .git metadata - giving up.
The upstream indeed mistakenly included some .git folders in the
manually created gxplugins_1.0_src.tar.bz2. This is not related to
submodules. If you want to use this tarball just repack it removing
.git folders.

Now I need to catch up on the latest with uscan and watch files!
