You've wasted no effort because everything you're throwing away was machine-made. +===== status and references slide + +git-debrebase is available in testing and stretch-backports and is in +good shape. Since early versions it has been battle-tested to help +with security updates to the Debian Xen packages. The documentation +is comprehensive. + +No doubt the user interface and documentation will improve, and new +features will will be added, but you can start using it right away. + +The best starting point is probably the tutorial manpage +dgit-maint-debrebase (7) (which is in the dgit package). + +Sean and I are holding a workshop on Tuesday morning, where anyone is +invited to come and get help with git-debrebase - and also with dgit. +So if your questions dun't get answered before then, do drop in. + +And of course I should refer to the reference documentation. +git-debrebase(5) has the data model and definition of terminology. +git-debrebase(1) is the command line reference. + +But, really, start with the dgit-maint-rebase tutorial, or come to the +workshop.
