Could you expand on it ?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that when import sees a file
with no vendor branch yet and with a dead rev 1.1, it should do all the
same as it currently does plus set the default branch to 1.1.1 (or
wherever the vendor branch is).
I think that should do it (modulo issues such as moving the file out of the
Attic).  And I can't see in which way that would make merging worse than it
is now.
