-# Hi! You're early!
-
-This is the root commit. There's nothing here yet.
-
-The main branch is reserved for feature-complete and known-working refs.
-If you're reading this on the head of the main branch, it's probably because
-the project is in such early development that no feature-complete
-and known-working refs exist yet. In this case, to take a look
-at development progress, and/or test whatever incomplete content
-is available thus far, you can checkout the dev branch instead.
