Ok, i didn't know that I can create a git repo . Thank you !

One more question,... before we started to build a packages some time ago,
we forked deb-* repos from
github ..for example
https://github.com/openstack/deb-nova (not from anonscm....)

It was better to import to our local github , and that repos also seemed to
be more fresh little bit as repos in anonscm.
Is it problem to merge into anonsm repos now ?  Mostly it is different
lines in control, or some other minor change,
changelog sometimes little bit differs ( mostly with UNRELEASED tag ) ?

How can I deal with this ?

Thanks,
Kevin
