        <para>
            Creates a new commit 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>
            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.
