+The Utilities/cmcurl directory contains a reduced distribution
+of the curl source tree with only the library source code and
+CMake build system.  It is not a submodule; the actual content is part
+of our source tree and changes can be made and committed directly.
+
+We update from upstream using Git's "subtree" merge strategy.  A
+special branch contains commits of upstream curl snapshots and
+nothing else.  No Git ref points explicitly to the head of this
+branch, but it is merged into our history.
+
+Update curl from upstream as follows.  Create a local branch to
+explicitly reference the upstream snapshot branch head:
+
+ git branch curl-upstream 3fe5d9bf
+
+Use a temporary directory to checkout the branch:
+
+ mkdir curl-tmp
+ cd curl-tmp
+ git init
+ git pull .. curl-upstream
+ rm -rf *
+
+Now place the (reduced) curl content in this directory.  See
+instructions shown by
+
+ git log 3fe5d9bf
+
+for help extracting the content from the upstream repo.  Then run
+the following commands to commit the new version.  Substitute the
+appropriate date and version number:
+
+ git add --all
+
+ GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Curl Upstream' \
+ GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='curl-library@cool.haxx.se' \
+ GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='Wed Sep 10 08:07:58 2014 +0200' \
+ git commit -m 'curl 7.38.0 (reduced)' &&
+ git commit --amend
+
+Edit the commit message to describe the procedure used to obtain the
+content.  Then push the changes back up to the main local repository:
+
+ git push .. HEAD:curl-upstream
+ cd ..
+ rm -rf curl-tmp
+
+Create a topic in the main repository on which to perform the update:
+
+ git checkout -b update-curl master
+
+Merge the curl-upstream branch as a subtree:
+
+ git merge -s recursive -X subtree=Utilities/cmcurl \
+           curl-upstream
+
+If there are conflicts, resolve them and commit.  Build and test the
+tree.  Commit any additional changes needed to succeed.
+
+Finally, run
+
+ git rev-parse --short=8 curl-upstream
+
+to get the commit from which the curl-upstream branch must be started
+on the next update.  Edit the "git branch curl-upstream" line above to
+record it, and commit this file.
