Whoops - sorry about that!

Eventually succeeded with this (thanks!), but a couple of things:
I.  1st try => 'gbp:error: Git command failed: Error running git branch:
fatal: A branch named 'master' already exists.'
     I still don't understand this error. 'man gbp-import-dsc' says
'--debian-branch=branch_name...Default is master.'
    My ~/.gitconfig: 'defaultBranch = main'

II. I was expecting that the folder name created by 'gbp' would be
'dhcpcd5-8.1.2' instead of 'dhcpcd5`. Why is it different from what you get
when using 'apt-get source dhcpcd5'?

FWIW, I experimented with my local .dsc file. 'man gbp-import-dsc' suggests
usage of a local .dsc as follows:
'gbp import-dsc ../hello_2.10-1.dsc'
Which implied to me that the folder should be created, then descend into it
before running this command.
But when I did that, it created another folder with the same name; i.e.
~/dhcpcd5/dhcpcd5
>From ~/ I did 'gbp import-dsc hello_2.10-1.dsc' - which seems to work OK.

Thanks again for your help!
