That's a pity - our current policy is to automatically approve git source 
imports, since we can safely assume that they will work.

(Note that we review CVS and SVN imports because they often do *not* work out of 
the box.)

Can we change the vcs-import code so that it automatically approves Git imports? 
 It would improve the user experience.
