Does upstream tag releases in git or is there some concept of stable releases? If they don't have version numbers, you can make some up, likely based on the date. For example, a package based on git as it is today could have the version number of 20140917-1 where -1 is the Debian package revision. As for importing the source, you should clone the git repository and create a .tar.gz to work form, then do "git import-orig" as normal. There is no reason to use the --pristine-tar flag for this, as the pristine-tar delta is practically worthless being that it's a repacked .tar.gz and not the original. More experienced people should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
