        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
            Creates or updates a repository with an application build.
            <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is the location of the
            repository. <arg choice="plain">DIRECTORY</arg> must be a
            finalized build directory. If <arg choice="plain">BRANCH</arg>
            is not specified, it is assumed to be "master".
        </para>
        <para>
            If <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> exists, it is assumed to
            be an OSTree repository, otherwise a new OSTree repository is
            created at this location. The repository can be inspected with
            the <command>ostree</command> tool.
        </para>
        <para>
            The contents of <arg choice="plain">DIRECTORY</arg> are committed
            on the branch with name <literal>app/APPNAME/ARCH/BRANCH</literal>,
            where ARCH is the architecture of the runtime that the application
            is using. A commit filter is used to enforce that only the contents
            of the <filename>files/</filename> and <filename>export/</filename>
            subdirectories and the <filename>metadata</filename> file are included
            in the commit, anything else is ignored.
        </para>
        <para>
            The repo-update command should be used to update repository
            metadata whenever application builds are added to a repository.
        </para>

                <listitem><para>

                  Use the specified filename as metadata in the exported app instead of
                  the default file (called <filename>metadata</filename>). This is useful
                  if you want to commit multiple things from a single build tree, typically
                  used in combination with --files and --exclude.

                  Use the files in the specified subdirectory as the file contents, rather
