I don't think this command is necessary, but then I don't know what
it's meant to accomplish.

Maybe you should do something more like

git clone ssh://loicm-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/gmameui.git cd gmameui
uscan
git branch upstream origin/upstream
git branch pristine-tar origin/pristine-tar
git-import-orig --pristine-tar ../gmameui_0.2.10.orig.tar.gz
<whatever else you want, patches, commits, maybe a git-buildpackage --git-tag>
git push --tags

Thanks. It gets better, but I still have a problem uploading the new upstream release - it gets in the upstream branch, but neither in master nor pristine-tar, and I can't continue work in git because of that (the files in the package directory are still the previous version). A chat on IRC didn't give a solution either, but pabs and Clint (maybe you?) helped pinpoint the problem.

I'd really like to see a solution. In the meantime, I've uploaded the package to debian.mentors.net, and will use that for an RFS, but I'd rather be able to use git in the future.
