LONG_USAGE='Like filter-branch, but can be used to update branches.
This creates or updates <out-branch> from <in-branch>. If <in-branch> already
exists, it only runs new commits through the filter. This way, this can be
-used to pull from a remote with a different layout than yours.
+used to pull from a remote repository with a different layout than yours.
-This will append "git-rewrite-id" to all commit messages, similar to
-"git-svn-id" with `git-svn`.
+New commits are detected by examining a "tag" in the commit messages of
+<out-branch> that can be used to tie those commits to corresponding commits in
+<in-branch>. By default, the tag is "git-rewrite-id: " followed by the commit
+hash of the corresponding commit; similar to the "git-svn-id" appended by
+`git-svn`. However, if <in-branch> already has suitable tags in the commit
+messages (such as "git-svn-id"), then that can be used, and the commit message
+does not need to be edited.
-h Show this text
-v Be more verbose
--svn Use an existing "git-svn-id" instead of "git-rewrite-id"
(in-branch was generated by git-svn)
+ --tag=<tag> Use the exiting <tag> as found in <in-branch>, instead of
+ the commit hash.
+ --no-tag Disregard a previous "--tag="; set "git-rewrite-id" to
+ the commit hash.
+ --svn An alias for "--tag=git-svn-id"
<filters> is passed directly to `git filter-branch`, and therefore has the same
format.
