$ git clone https://git.devuan.org/edbarx/netman.git

$ mv netman simple-netaid

$ tar -c simple-netaid | bzip2 > simple-netaid_0.1.1.orig.tar.bz2

$ pristine-tar commit ../simple-netaid_0.1.1.orig.tar.bz2 tags/0.1.1

$ git-buildpackage -tc --git-export-dir="../build-area"
--git-pristine-tar --git-tag --git-ignore-branch

You can also create a hidden config .gbp file instead of using arguments
in the command line.

HTH.

Aitor.
