Dgit is really > scary and I'm told this thing is better than gbp pq. I don't think it would be crazy to write a manpage which is dgit-maint-debrebase(7) with the dgit stuff stripped out. The duplication would not introduce a new maintainance burden because there is already duplication between the tutorial manpages; we have to review them all when significant changes happen. If you both think this would help, I would produce the new manpage. > 5) Eventually come back to the git-debrebase man page. Wait this really > isn't so bad.
