including upstream history when upstream uses git

[Diane Trout <diane@ghic.org>]

Hi,

What's the debian-med team's position on whether or not to include the
upstream history as described in:

https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.upstream-git.html

There's supposedly some advantages for handling patches but I
haven't figure out how to do that yet.

I have some prototype packaging I've done using that method for anndata
and scanpy, but I could easily generate a fresh history using gbp
import-dsc.
