Arch tags are full commits (without any changed files) as well. Trust Arch
to have put an unchanged tree in place (which seems to do reliably), and
just add a tag & new branch. Speeds up Arch imports significantly, and leaves
history in a much saner state.

If there is no GIT directory, archimport will assume it is an initial import.
It now also supports incremental imports, skipping "seen" commits. You can
now run it repeatedly to pull new commits from the Arch repository.

[jc: my arch/tla is very rusty and after Tom announced he is stepping
down as the maintainer I have very little motivation to relearn it,
so I would appreciate if people discuss any bugs or enhancements
directly with Martin. Of course I can help with the git end of the
issues.]
