-builtin API
-===========
-
-Adding a new built-in
----------------------
-
-There are 4 things to do to add a built-in command implementation to
-Git:
-
-. Define the implementation of the built-in command `foo` with
-  signature:
-
-	int cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix);
-
-. Add the external declaration for the function to `builtin.h`.
-
-. Add the command to the `commands[]` table defined in `git.c`.
-  The entry should look like:
-
-	{ "foo", cmd_foo, <options> },
-+
-where options is the bitwise-or of:
-
-`RUN_SETUP`::
-	If there is not a Git directory to work on, abort.  If there
-	is a work tree, chdir to the top of it if the command was
-	invoked in a subdirectory.  If there is no work tree, no
-	chdir() is done.
-
-`RUN_SETUP_GENTLY`::
-	If there is a Git directory, chdir as per RUN_SETUP, otherwise,
-	don't chdir anywhere.
-
-`USE_PAGER`::
-
-	If the standard output is connected to a tty, spawn a pager and
-	feed our output to it.
-
-`NEED_WORK_TREE`::
-
-	Make sure there is a work tree, i.e. the command cannot act
-	on bare repositories.
-	This only makes sense when `RUN_SETUP` is also set.
-
-. Add `builtin/foo.o` to `BUILTIN_OBJS` in `Makefile`.
-
-Additionally, if `foo` is a new command, there are 3 more things to do:
-
-. Add tests to `t/` directory.
-
-. Write documentation in `Documentation/git-foo.txt`.
-
-. Add an entry for `git-foo` to `command-list.txt`.
-
-. Add an entry for `/git-foo` to `.gitignore`.
-
-
-How a built-in is called
-------------------------
-
-The implementation `cmd_foo()` takes three parameters, `argc`, `argv,
-and `prefix`.  The first two are similar to what `main()` of a
-standalone command would be called with.
-
-When `RUN_SETUP` is specified in the `commands[]` table, and when you
-were started from a subdirectory of the work tree, `cmd_foo()` is called
-after chdir(2) to the top of the work tree, and `prefix` gets the path
-to the subdirectory the command started from.  This allows you to
-convert a user-supplied pathname (typically relative to that directory)
-to a pathname relative to the top of the work tree.
-
-The return value from `cmd_foo()` becomes the exit status of the
-command.

-sub-process API
-===============
-
-The sub-process API makes it possible to run background sub-processes
-for the entire lifetime of a Git invocation. If Git needs to communicate
-with an external process multiple times, then this can reduces the process
-invocation overhead. Git and the sub-process communicate through stdin and
-stdout.
-
-The sub-processes are kept in a hashmap by command name and looked up
-via the subprocess_find_entry function.  If an existing instance can not
-be found then a new process should be created and started.  When the
-parent git command terminates, all sub-processes are also terminated.
-
-This API is based on the run-command API.
-
-Data structures
----------------
-
-* `struct subprocess_entry`
-
-The sub-process structure.  Members should not be accessed directly.
-
-Types
------
-
-'int(*subprocess_start_fn)(struct subprocess_entry *entry)'::
-
-	User-supplied function to initialize the sub-process.  This is
-	typically used to negotiate the interface version and capabilities.
-
-
-Functions
----------
-
-`cmd2process_cmp`::
-
-	Function to test two subprocess hashmap entries for equality.
-
-`subprocess_start`::
-
-	Start a subprocess and add it to the subprocess hashmap.
-
-`subprocess_stop`::
-
-	Kill a subprocess and remove it from the subprocess hashmap.
-
-`subprocess_find_entry`::
-
-	Find a subprocess in the subprocess hashmap.
-
-`subprocess_get_child_process`::
-
-	Get the underlying `struct child_process` from a subprocess.
-
-`subprocess_read_status`::
-
-	Helper function to read packets looking for the last "status=<foo>"
-	key/value pair.
