+== Copyright update ==
+
+Using the option `--copyright` svndigest will try to update the
+copyright statement in each of the parsed files. The copyright
+statement is detected as the first line containing `Copyright
+(C)`. The copyright statement block is defined to start at this line
+and ends with the first following line containing no alphanumerical
+characters (i.e. line is treated as `other` in statistics). This
+copyright statement block is replaced with a new copyright block
+generated from analyzing `svn log`. An author is considered to has
+copyright of the file if (s)he has modified the file and thereby
+occurs in the log. For an example of the format of the generated
+copyright statement, please have a look at any file in the svndigest
+project.
