NAME
dch-repeat - repeats a changelog entry into an older release
SYNOPSIS
dch-repeat --build-tree <PATH>

DESCRIPTION
dch-repeat is used to repeat a changelog into an older release. It expects that --build-tree is laid out with each Ubuntu release as a
separate directory ("feisty", "edgy", etc).
For example, if gimp had a security update prepared for Feisty in $TREE/feisty/gimp-2.2.13, running dch-repeat in $TREE/edgy/gimp-2.2.13
would pull in the latest changelog from the Feisty build.
