.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBdch\-repeat\fR is used to repeat a changelog into an older release.
It expects that \-\-build\-tree is laid out with each Ubuntu release as a
separate directory ("feisty", "edgy", etc).
.PP
For example, if gimp had a security update prepared for Feisty in
$TREE/feisty/gimp\-2.2.13, running \fBdch\-repeat\fR in
$TREE/edgy/gimp\-2.2.13 would pull in the latest changelog from the Feisty
build.
