+replacerelations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. program:: manage.py replacerelations
+
+Parse a patch groups file and store any relation found
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ ./manage.py replacerelations <infile>
+
+This is a script used to ingest relations into Patchwork.
+
+A patch groups file contains on each line a list of space separated patch IDs
+of patches that form a relation.
+
+For example, consider the contents of a sample patch groups file::
+
+ 1 3 5
+ 2
+ 7 10 11 12
+
+In this case the script will identify 2 relations, (1, 3, 5) and
+(7, 10, 11, 12). The single patch ID "2" on the second line is ignored as a
+relation always consists of more than 1 patch.
+
+Further, if a patch ID in the patch groups file does not exist in the database
+of the Patchwork instance, that patch ID will be silently ignored while forming
+the relations.
+
+Running this script will remove all existing relations and replace them with
+the relations found in the file.
+
+.. option:: infile
+
+ input patch groups file.
