I have not seen this error message (did you filed a bug as it said)?

When I was running into trouble with larger tarballs previously it
helped to use

TMPDIR=/var/tmp git import-orig --pristine-tar <tarball>

-----------------------

Andreas,

I'm trying your suggestion now, and also reading more
about git-import-orig.

[...]

I'll keep exploring...

No luck yet...

Here is what I have tried:

$ git branch -a

* master

upstream

remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master

remotes/origin/master

remotes/origin/upstream

$ TMPDIR=/var/tmp git import-orig --pristine-tar ../../Replication/vista-foia_0.20130405.orig.tar.gz

What is the upstream version? [0.20130405]

gbp:info: Importing '../../Replication/vista-foia_0.20130405.orig.tar.gz' to branch 'upstream'...

gbp:info: Source package is vista-foia

gbp:info: Upstream version is 0.20130405

xdelta: warning: no matches found in from file, patch will apply without it

error: excessively large binary delta for /var/tmp/pristine-tar.bC1wZJOkad/origtarball

(Please consider filing a bug report.)

pristine-tar: failed to generate delta

gbp:error: Couldn't commit to 'pristine-tar' with upstream 'upstream': /usr/bin/pristine-tar returned 1

gbp:error: Import of ../../Replication/vista-foia_0.20130405.orig.tar.gz failed:

$ pwd

/home/ibanez/src/debian-med/SecondPass/PristineTar/vista-foia-0.20130405

It may well be, that I'm not properly

matching the directory name yet....
