+
+
+The utilities in detail
+=======================
+
+  git-amb (status: stable)
+    Makes building, installing, and testing multiple git branches of
+    some source tree built with automake easy, clean and flexible.
+    The name stands for "git *a*uto*m*ake *b*uild". For details, see
+    git-amb(1) man page.
+
+  git-buildmsg (status: testing)
+    Generate .h file containing information about the current git
+    working tree. Useful for programs' version messages in logs etc.
+    Generating the version message from git describe output appears
+    to be much cleaner, though.
+
+  git-rebase-subtree (status: stale)
+    Rebase not only a single branch, but a whole "subtree of branches".
+    Useful for maintaining your own subtree of branches close to some
+    upstream's branch.
+    Probably obsoleted by automatic branch..rebase setup in git 1.5.6.
+
+  nbb (status: experimental)
+    ndim's branch builder
+    Genericized extrapolation of git-amb.
+      Handles git and bzr.
+      Handles automake/autoconf.
+    Still very much work in progress, only useful for nbb development.
