.SH "NAME"
-git-nav-downstream \- Checkout a downstream branch of the currently checked out branch\&.
+git-reparent-branch \- Alter the parentage (upstream) for the current branch\&.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
-\fIgit\-nav\-downstream\fR takes the current branch and discovers all branches downstream of it\&. If there is only one branch downstream of the current branch, the command will check that out\&. If there\*(Aqs more than one downstream branch, the command will prompt you with a selection of the branches\&.
-.SH "EXAMPLE"
+Change the \fIupstream\fR of the current branch, and then run \fBgit-rebase-update\fR(1) to move the commits in the current branch, as well as the commits in all descendant branches, onto the new parent\&.
+.sp
+<new_parent> may be either a local branch, remote branch, OR a tag (such as lkgr)\&.
+.sp
+This is particularly useful to reparent an independent CL to become dependent on another CL, or vice versa\&. This could happen if you started both on the assumption that they were independent, but later realized that this was not the case\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+<new_parent>
+.RS 4
+The new parent to set as the upstream for this branch\&. May be a branch ref or a tag\&.
