never been part of a git repo?!

I'm afraid I need to pass on this, at least for the coming days...
 
Just one thing: I noticed there is no README.Source - but then we dont want 
this anyway, but rather document our workflow on 
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/OTR - correct?

turn it into policy instead, to only include patches which have been submitted 
upstream to some tracker or which have been merged upstream?! IOW: do not 
include patches which have not been sent upstream.
