+The automatically generated patch puts this free form text on top of it.
+
+If you are using gbp-buildpackage(1), you probably don't need this file.
+
+If you are using dgit-maint-merge(7), please consider text as follows.
+
+The Debian packaging of foo is maintained in git, using the merging workflow
+described in dgit-maint-merge(7). There isn't a patch queue that can be
+represented as a quilt series.
+
+A detailed breakdown of the changes is available from their canonical
+representation - git commits in the packaging repository. For example, to see
+the changes made by the Debian maintainer in the first upload of upstream
+version 1.2.3, you could use:
+
+ % git clone https://git.dgit.debian.org/foo
+ % cd foo
+ % git log --oneline 1.2.3..debian/1.2.3-1 -- . ':!debian'
+
+(If you have dgit, use `dgit clone foo`, rather than plain `git clone`.)
+
+A single combined diff, containing all the changes, follows.
