Re: [PATCH, final version] git-archimport: allow remapping branch names

> This patch add support to archimport for remapping the branch names
> to match those used in git more closely.  This is useful for
> projects that *migrate* to git (as opposed to users that want
> to use git on Arch-based projects).  For example, one can
> choose a branch name and call it "master".

> The new command-line syntax works even if there is a colon in

> to be the git name (git does not allow colons in branch names).
