I don't really understand how that is relevant. The README.source has way too much information that I don't need. A TopGit CDBS snippet IMnsHO needs to have a short README.source which explains exactly what needs to be done, assuming that the person knows CDBS and TopGit/Git (and if not, there are seperate docs for that). To round it off, an example with sufficient comments would be good. > ...so I guess you should forward that very relevant question to quilt > maintainers.
