archives that it imports, it is also possible to specify git branch names
manually. To do so, write a git branch name after each <archive/branch>
parameter, separated by a colon. This way, you can shorten the Arch
branch names and convert Arch jargon to git jargon, for example mapping a
-"PROJECT--devo--VERSION" branch to "master".
+"PROJECT{litdd}devo{litdd}VERSION" branch to "master".
Associating multiple Arch branches to one git branch is possible; the
result will make the most sense only if no commits are made to the first

ones.
