+Since this Git repository does not follow the usual Debian Med
+workflow it is documented here, how the package can be updated:
+
+  1. in the master branch, pull the upstream master branch and its tags.
+
+       git pull https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2 --tags
+
+      FIXME: If this leads to lot of merge conflicts, do what?
+
+  2. download the upstream tarball
+
+       uscan --force-download
+
+  3. Register the upstream tarball in the pristine-tar branch directly with
+     the pristine-tar command directly.
+
+       pristine-tar ../bedtools_<version>.orig.tar.gz v<version>
+
+  4. Merge the tag in the debian/unstable branch
+
+       git checkout debian/unstable ; git merge v2.24.0
+
+  5. Update the packaging files, build with gbp - debian-branch and
+     upstream-branch are properly set in debian/gbp.conf
+
+According to Charles Plessy this workflow has the advantage to propose
+upstream via pull requests on GitHub
