Hi, please see http://bugs.debian.org/400508: > git-archimport deletes the directory tree in the current working > directory during the initial import. The documentation has a sentence > saying that an empty directory is expected but this can be dangerous > for people not familiar with the tool. git-archimport should better refuse to start an initial import if the current directory is not empty.
