The --upstream-vcs-tag for git-import-orig is nice.  Thanks.

Also pending fix to #700411 "git-import-orig should filter the upstream
debian director" is also nice.

What about git-import-dsc to support --upstream-vcs-tag.

I mean that the upstream branch is not just a copy of upstream tar but
also a merge commit from tag specified by the --upstream-vcs-tag on the
upstream-vcs branch.  Then the master (debian) branch is commited
exactly as dpkg-source -x --unapply-patches but also a merge commit from
the upstream.  The reast are the same as the good old git-import-dsc.

Right now, if I use git-import-orig --upstream-vcs-tag, master branch
has merge conflict if the upstream has debian/ directory with some
changes.  It should disregard changes in debian/.  Yes, I manually fix
this by copying debian source tree and commiting it.  But having
git-import-dsc with --upstream-vcs-tag  should make starting the few
recent packages commited to the local git which has upstream vcs clone
in it very easy.
