It's a low-level "plumbing" command, so it depends on what you want to do.  I'd
read the man page before trying to use it--it was very tricky to get right in
the resolve-ChangeLogs command.

To reiterate, "resolve-ChangeLogs -f master" would rewrite all commits on the
current branch to make sure ChangeLog entries are applied to the top of each
file for every commit on the branch.  Sometimes, a rebase operation can leave
ChangeLog entries merged into the middle of a file.
