+.SH FORMAT 3.0 (QUILT)
+For a format `3.0 (quilt)' source package, dgit may have to make a
+commit on your current branch to contain metadata used by quilt and
+dpkg-source.
+
+This is because (i) the `3.0 (quilt)' source format cannot represent
+certain trees, and (ii) packing up a tree in `3.0 (quilt)' and then
+unpacking it does not always yield the same tree. Instead,
+dpkg-source insists on the trees having extra quilty metadata and
+patch files in the debian/ and .pc/ directories, which dpkg-source
+sometimes modifies.
+
+dgit will automatically work around this braindamage for you when
+building and pushing. The only thing you need to know is that dgit
+build, sbuild, etc., may make a new commit on your HEAD. If you're
+not a quilt user this commit won't contain any changes to files you
+care about.
+
+You can explicitly request that dgit do just this fixup, by running
+dgit quilt-fixup.
+
+We recommend against the use of `3.0 (quilt)'.
