    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
    &gbp-import-dscs; imports several versions of a Debian source package into
    a &git; repository. To do so it sorts the packages by their versions first
    and then imports them via calling &gbp-import-dsc; on each package. 
    </para> 

    <para>
    If the current directory isn't a &git; repository already the repository is
    created in a subdir of the current working directory, named after the first
    imported package, otherwise the &git; repository in the current working
    directory is being used. This allows for incremental imports.
