+ndim's git utilities - a collection of scripts and docs around git
+Copyright (C) 2007, 2008 Hans Ulrich Niedermann <hun@n-dimensional.de>
+========================================================================
+
+
+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.
