Yes, sure. But it starts off a repository by taking the latest .dsc
file and generating a commit out of it.
The cool thing about how it generates the commit, is that it's
reproducible and generates stable SHA-1 id by setting GIT time
variables & author variables from the .dsc.
Such that it doesn't matter who/where/when runs the import as the
commit tree / commit id will be the same (well sans parenting
information, but that could be easily fixed with graft points)

Dmitrijs.
