            Creates new commits on the <arg choice="plain">DST-REF</arg>
            branch in the <arg choice="plain">DST-REPO</arg>, with the
            contents (and most of the metadata) taken from another
            branch, either from another repo, or from another branch in
            the same repository.
        </para>
        <para>
            The collection ID set on
            <arg choice="plain">DST-REPO</arg> (if set) will be used for the
            newly created commits.
        </para>
        <para>
            This command is very useful when you want to maintain a branch
            with a clean history that has no unsigned or broken commits.
            For instance, you can import the head from a different repository
            from an automatic builder when you've verified that it worked.
            The new commit will have no parents or signatures from the
            autobuilder, and can be properly signed with the official
            key.
        </para>
        <para>
            Any deltas that affect the original commit and that match parent
            commits in the destination repository are copied and rewritten
            for the new commit id.

                    The branch to use as the source for the new commit. Defaults to the same

                    Don't update the summary file after the new commit is added. This means

                    has been run. This is useful is you want to do multiple repo operations before
                    finally updating the summary.
