 Attribute `path`: If specified, limit the change to projects checked out
 at the specified path, rather than all projects with the given name.
 
+Attribute `dest-path`: If specified, a path relative to the top directory
+of the repo client where the Git working directory for this project
+should be placed.  This is used to move a project in the checkout by
+overriding the existing `path` setting.
+
 Attribute `groups`: List of additional groups to which this project
 belongs.  Same syntax as the corresponding element of `project`.
