+<p>While git-archimport will try to create sensible branch names for the
+archives that it imports, it is also possible to specify git branch names
+manually. To do so, write a git branch name after each &lt;archive/branch&gt;
+parameter, separated by a colon. This way, you can shorten the Arch

+<p>Associating multiple Arch branches to one git branch is possible; the

+branch, after the second branch is created. Still, this is useful to
