+Updating a package already in the team git
+------------------------------------------
+
+You can update an existing Debian package in git to the latest upstream with
+one of the following commands:
+
+::
+
+    gbp import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan # will use the watch file to locate
+                                           # the latest upstream
+    gbp import-orig --pristine-tar --download <URL> # will download a tarball
+                                                    # from the URL before
+                                                    # importing
+    gbp import-orig --pristine-tar /path/to/orig.tar.gz # import from local
+                                                        # tarball
+
