+Converts a laundered branch into a
+gbp patches-unapplied branch containing quilt patches.
+The result is not fast forward from the interchange branch,
+and any ffq-prev is deleted.
+
+This is provided mostly for the test suite
+and for unusual situations.
+It should only be used with a care and 
+with a proper understanding of the underlying theory.
+
+Be sure to not accidentally treat the result as
+a git-debrebase branch,
+or you will drop all the patches!
