+# internal cleaning-up repository structure, as well as to our public
+# git and download repositories.
+
+# It checks out upstream sources, finds and checks out cleaning-up
+# scripts, cleans up the sources, commits the changes, creates signed
+# tags for publishing, tarballs and patchfiles for publishing and for
+# manual verification, checks that the tarballs look clean and waits
+# for manual verification before preparing tags and tarballs for
+# publishing.
