-$ git clone https://xenbits.xen.org/git-http/xen.git
-After cloning it, do:

+After cloning it, we should generate an orig tar from the upstream source.
Based on the version number in the newest debian/changelog entry, a release tag
-or specific commit will be used to generate the orig tar file. For now, see
