+.TH EDIT-PATCH "1" "Debian Utilities" "DEBIAN"
+.SH NAME
+\fBedit-patch\fR, \fBadd-patch\fR \- tool for preparing patches for Debian
+source packages
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBedit-patch\fR \fIpath/to/patch\fR
+
+\fBadd-patch\fR \fIpath/to/patch\fR
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBedit-patch\fR is a wrapper script around the Quilt, CDBS, and dpatch patch
+systems. It simplifies the process of preparing and editing patches to Debian
+source packages and allows the user to not have to be concerned with which patch
+system is in use.
+Run from inside the root directory of the source package, \fBedit-patch\fR can
+be used to edit existing patches located in \fIdebian/patches\fR.
+
+It can also be used to incorporate new patches.
+If pointed at a patch not already present, it will copy the patch to
+\fIdebian/patches\fR in the correct format for the patch system in use.
+Next, the patch is applied and a subshell is opened in order to edit the patch.
+Typing \fBexit\fR or pressing Ctrl-d will close the subshell and launch an editor
+to record the \fIdebian/changelog\fR entry.
+
+\fBedit-patch\fR is integrated with the Bazaar and Git version control systems.
+The patch will be automatically added to the tree, and the \fIdebian/changelog\fR
+entry will be used as the commit message.
+
+If no patch system is present, the patch is applied inline,
+and a copy is stored in \fIdebian/patches-applied\fR.
+
+\fBadd-patch\fR is the non-interactive version of \fBedit-patch\fR.
+The patch will be incorporated but no editor or subshell will be
+spawned.
