+# Often, we may want to backport a patch from upstream to our package. If
+# that's just a matter of cherry-picking a patch from upstream, this script can
+# help. We don't really want to git cherry-pick, but rather add a new patch to
+# our quilt series. In short, this script automates doing that.
+#
+# Call it like this:
+#   % git fetch zsh
+#   % debian/bin/commit2quilt $commit_id
+#
+# `commit2quilt' requires `quilt', `git' and $GIT_EDITOR or
+# emacsclient available.
