#### Keep a downstream PPA delta current with the Ubuntu archive

git-ppa treats the Ubuntu archive as the upstream and a Launchpad PPA as the
downstream. It finds the newest version in the Release, Security and Updates
pockets, merges it into the downstream git branch, classifies the result by
conflict size and by the regions it touched, and checks packaging rules.

Everything specific to a project (package names, branches, PPAs, risk
patterns, lint rules) comes from a profile file that you pass with
--profile, so the tool itself is not tied to one project.

Run it as "git ppa <command>" or "git-ppa <command>". Use "-h" for help,
"git ppa --help" is intercepted by git.

The snap is strict and reaches the private downstream repositories over https. Create a
Launchpad access token with the repository:pull scope for the project and store it with
"git ppa login".
