To follow the development of a project that uses Arch, rerun `git-archimport` with the same parameters as the initial import to perform incremental imports. +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 <archive/branch> +parameter, separated by a colon. This way, you can shorten the Arch +branch names and convert Arch jargon to git jargon, for example mapping a +"PROJECT--devo--VERSION" branch to "master". + +Associating multiple Arch branches to one git branch is possible; the +result will make the most sense only if no commits are made to the first +branch, after the second branch is created.
