        Many tags. Will create a tag for every commit, reflecting the commit

+-f::
+       Use the fast patchset import strategy.  This can be significantly
+       faster for large trees, but cannot handle directory renames or
+       permissions changes.  The default strategy is slow and safe.
+
+-o::
+       Use this for compatibility with old-style branch names used by
+       earlier versions of git-archimport.  Old-style branch names
+       were category--branch, whereas new-style branch names are

+-D <depth>::

+-a::
