.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBmergechanges\fR [\fB\-f\fR] \fIfile1 file2\fR [\fIfile\fR...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmergechanges\fR merges two or more \fI.changes\fR files, merging
the Architecture and Files fields of the two.  There are basic checks
made to ensure that the changes files are from the same source package
and version.  The first changes file is used as the basis and the
information from the later ones is merges into it.
.PP
The output is normally written to \fIstdout\fR.  If the \fB\-f\fR
option is given, the output is written to
\fIpackage\fR_\fIversion\fR_multi.changes instead, in the same
directory as the first changes file listed.
