Vlad Grigorescu commented on BIT-1413:
--------------------------------------

Here's what I was doing:


{code}
git clone ssh://git.bro.org/capstats.git
cd capstats
git checkout -b topic/bit-1413
ln -s README README.rst
git add README.rst
git commit -m "Add README.rst -> README symlink. Addresses BIT-1413"
git push origin topic/bit-1413
cd ..
{code}

> If a README file doesn't have an extension, GitHub will parse it as Markdown. 
> Because our README files are ReST, this results in some ugly (and not very 
> useful) READMEs when visiting the repository on GitHub.
> For example, see: https://github.com/bro/btest#readme
> There are two options we could take to fix this: rename README to README.rst, 
> or create a symlink. I tried out the symlink option here, and I think the 
> result is much more useful: https://github.com/grigorescu/btest#readme
> The affected repos are:
> binpac
> bro
> bro-aux
> bro-plugins
> bro-scripts
> broccoli
> broccoli-perl
> broccoli-python
> broccoli-ruby
> broctl (broctl's README just instructs users to see doc/broctl.rst. This 
> could just be a symlink)
> broker
> bromagic (this can probably be deleted?)
> btest
> capstats
> time-machine
> trace-summary
