Yep, sounds reasonable to me.  But I'm not so sure about how to get
things imported into a branch, for example.  So I'd probably end up
just checking in new versions.  The important thing, to me, is not to
enforce import as opposed to commit, but to make it clear that
versions should be brought over from gnu/config and libtool, as
opposed to installing local changes, to avoid divergence and confusion
about versions labeled with the same version number doing different
things.
