Bug Description
git-build-recipe does not yet implement the "nest-part" command, which is useful e.g. for using just the "debian" directory from a different full-source branch.
I think this is not too hard to implement, just a little fiddly. I think we want something like:
* add the given repository as a new remote and fetch it
* apply "git filter-branch --subdirectory-
* use "git subtree add" to import the filtered branch into the requested subdirectory of the top-level tree
