 The scripts in this package simplify working with a series of patches.
 The usual tasks like applying, refreshing and reversing are supported.
 
-docco.txt contains Adrew Morton's description of his suite of patch
-scripts. These scripts are based on Andrew's scripts, but include many
-changes. Please keep this in mind when reading Andrew's documentation.
-
-
-Concepts
-========
-
-(Please see docco.txt.)
-
-The scripts maintain a stack of patches, on top of which additional
-patches can be applied, and from with patches can be removed. The list of
-patches is kept in a file (searched for in this order in
-.pc/series, series, patches/series).
-
-The scripts keep meta information in the .pc/ directory. The .pc/
-directory contains:
-
-	.pc/applied-patches
-		The list of currently applied patches.
-
-	.pc/patch/.pc (for each applied patch)
-		A list of files modified by the patch.
-
-	.pc/patch/ (for each applied patch)
-		Copies of the files that the patch modifies,
-		before modifying. The original versions of
-		the files are needed for refreshing patches,
-		and for ensuring that removing a patch does
-		recreate the original file contents.
-
-
-Operation
-=========
-
-Patches to be applied must be listed in the series file.
-
-Patches are applied with pushpatch, and are removed with poppatch.
-
-Refpatch refreshes a patch.
-
-New patches can be added at the current position in the patch sequence
-with newpatch.
-
-Additional files to be modified can be added to a patch with patchadd.
-
-
-Installation
-============
-
-To start using the scripts the working directory must contain:
-
-	patches/
-		Patches to work with.
-
-	series (or patches/series)
-		List of patches in order of applying.
-
-The scripts will create the .pc/ directory that contains the meta
-information needed for managing the patches automatically.
-
-
-Series file
-===========
-
-The patches that are relevant for a project must be listed in the file
-series, which is searched for in .pc/, ./ and patches/ in this order.
-The patches will be applied in the order given. The series file has
-the following format:
-
-	# Comment
-	subdir/patch-file-name.patch [-pN]
-
-The location of patches is specified relative to the patches/ directory.
-Optionally a strip level (-p0, -p1, etc.) can be specified. When
-refreshing a patch, only levels 0 and 1 are supported.
+Please see the paper "How To Survive With Many Patches /or/
+Introduction to Quilt" for an introduction.
