What's the logic on allowing imports anyways? Offhand, I don't imagine
it as a useful tool since in my mind it would break the chain of
revisions, i.e.
Base-0 -> Rev-1 -> Rev-2 -> Rev-3
Base-0 -> Rev-1 -> Rev-2 Base-1 Rev-(3? 1?)
Why wouldn't somebody just avoid this mess and just start a new branch?
