Control: retitle -1 want gdr convert-from-bare-debian

I have a preliminary implementation.

A difficulty arises: the other convert-from-unapplied commands which
consume an upstream commitish check that the upstream commitish makes
sense: specifically, that it corresponds to HEAD.  With bare-debian
packaging branches this is not possible.

I can't think of anything sensible to do instead, so I propose to just
skip that check in this case.

I will check that the tree is indeed a bare-debian repo, ie that it
has no files outside debian/.  If there are any I will treat it as a
snag (and with -f delete them in favour of whatever the upstream tree
has).

Ian.

Control: retitle 919597 want gdr convert-from-bare-debian (packaging-only)
Control: retitle 903392 want support for packaging-only maintainer views (bare debian)

These two bugs are related but distinct.  They may end up sharing some
code, but it is unhelpful to miss one when thinking about the other.
