+In order to update the upstream patches, debian/update-patches should be run
+from the debian branch.  This will update debian/README in the debian
+branch, pull the new upstream patches into the upstream branch (with Bram as
+the author and useful commit messages), and merge the new upstream patches
+into the upstream-runtime, debian, and deb/* branches.
+
+If you're building a package with new upstream patches, a new orig.tar.gz
+should be built.  This can be done by running "git archive --format=tar
+--prefix=vim-7.1.$newest_patch_number/ upstream | gzip
+../vim_7.1.$newest_patch_number.orig.tar.gz".  This should probably be
+handled by debian/update-patches.
+
+Before building a new package, master:runtime/doc/tags should be rebuilt
+since we usually have newer runtime files than the base upstream release.
+This is simply done by running "vim -c 'helptags runtime/doc' -c 'q'" and
+then checking the file in.
