+# This is a quickie script which I wrote to generate the .patch file for
+# an arbitrary commit. It takes on sha1 as an argument, or saving that
+# uses the sha1 associated to HEAD.
+# It tries to find which of our primary branches the sha1 can be found on,
+# and then prints to standard out something similar to what our rsync feed
+# would produce for that situation. The main difference being, in that case
+# we KNOW what branch we are on, and in this one we dont, and in that case
+# the $tstamp field holds the time the snapshot was generated (so that multiple
+# fetches will always have an increasing tstamp field), however in this case
+# we use the commit date of the sha1.
+#
+# This is more or less intended to be used as a utility to generated .patch
+# files for other processes, like gitweb and snapshots.
+#
+# The script assumes it is being run from a git WD.
