Ok. Great. So that's the way to go then...

Ok, getting your point here. By importing tarballs you won't have  
proper commit messages, but you will at least have the code diffs and  
the changelog diffs. That might help a lot already when someone needs  
to investigate things deeper. Let me know what you need from me on the  
way. Happy patch extracting!!!

Ah ok. Great. Ping the bug (585 at bugs.x2go.org) once you dig something out.

Best!
