-GNU Linux-libre: <https://www.fsfla.org/selibre/linux-libre/>
-
-This repository contains the GNU Linux-libre release archive.
-
-It is a bit unusual as far as git repositories go, in that it pretty
-much does not contain branches, only tags.  The goal is not to reflect
-development history, but to preserve our release history in a far more
-compact form than a collection of tarballs.
-
-Most tags are initial commits, so that, in case we find releases
-containing non-Free Software, we can pull them back without affecting
-subsequent releases.
-
-For each release, there are three tags:
-
-- The tag under sources has cleaned-up source tarballs.
-
-- The tag under scripts has the cleaning-up scripts.
-
-- The tag under logs records the modifications made by the scripts,
-and GPG signatures of the verified tarballs.
