Not really:

$ git checkout pristine-tar
Switched to branch 'pristine-tar'
$ ls *
clinica_0.2.1~dfsg.orig.tar.bz2.delta  clinica_0.2.1.orig.tar.gz.delta
clinica_0.2.1~dfsg.orig.tar.bz2.id     clinica_0.2.1.orig.tar.gz.id
$ pristine-tar checkout tarball
fatal: Path 'tarball.delta' does not exist in 'refs/heads/pristine-tar'
pristine-tar: git show refs/heads/pristine-tar:tarball.delta failed

... hmmm.  I said I'm willing to learn.  I admit I'm not really
convinced by the method to keep upstream code in VCS.  I'm using Git in
other teams who only keep debian/ dir in Git (as we do in SVN) and I
never had any trouble.  On the other hand I *always* had trouble with
pristine-tar issues in our Git.  I perfectly admit that it might be me -
but things should be proof for idiots like me.

Hope anybody can help

       Andreas.
