Subject: [PATCH] archimport: avoid committing on an Arch tag
Message-ID: <11258313291144-git-send-email-martin@catalyst.net.nz>

```
Arch tags are full commits (without any changed files) as well. Trust Arch
to have put an unchanged tree in place (which seems to do reliably), and
just add a tag & new branch. Speeds up Arch imports significantly, and leaves
history in a much saner state.
