What's the point of saying that origtargz doesn't do what it does?

Fine, problem happens in backend but I'm not invoking backend directly...

    git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-go/packages/cadvisor.git
    cd cadvisor
    origtargz

At this point unpacked tarball contents left in "master";
"git status" show untracked files.

Problem is not happening if I run "origtargz --unpack=no" so I'm suggesting
to alter defaults to avoid unpacking when origtargz invoked from git
repository... I hope that make sense. Thanks.
