+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and

+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside

+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+Kitware Local Git Setup Scripts
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This is a collection of local Git development setup scripts meant for
+inclusion in project source trees to aid their development workflow.
+Project-specific information needed by the scripts may be configured
+in a "config" file added next to them in the project.
+
+
+Import
+------
+
+A project may import these scripts into their source tree by
+initializing a subtree merge.  Bring up a Git prompt and set the
+current working directory inside a clone of the target project.
+Fetch the "setup" branch from the GitSetup repository:
+
+ $ git fetch ../GitSetup setup:setup
+
+Prepare to merge the branch but place the content in a subdirectory.
+Any prefix (with trailing '/') may be chosen so long as it is used
+consistently within a project through the rest of these instructions:
+
+ $ git merge -s ours --no-commit setup
+ $ git read-tree -u --prefix=Utilities/GitSetup/ setup
+
+Commit the merge with an informative message:
+
+ $ git commit
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Merge branch 'setup'
+
+ Add Utilities/GitSetup/ directory using subtree merge from
+ the general GitSetup repository "setup" branch.
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Optionally add to the project ".gitattributes" file the line
+
+ /Utilities/GitSetup export-ignore
+
+to exclude the GitSetup directory from inclusion by "git archive"
+since it does not make sense in source tarballs.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Read the "Project configuration instructions" comment in each script.
+Add a "config" file next to the scripts with desired configuration
+(optionally copy and modify "config.sample").  For example, to
+configure the "setup-hooks" script:
+
+ $ git config -f Utilities/GitSetup/config hooks.url "$url"
+
+where "$url" is the project repository publishing the "hooks" branch.
+When finished, add and commit the configuration file:
+
+ $ git add Utilities/GitSetup/config
+ $ git commit
+
+
+Update
+------
+
+A project may update these scripts from the GitSetup repository.
+Bring up a Git prompt and set the current working directory inside a
+clone of the target project.  Fetch the "setup" branch from the
+GitSetup repository:
+
+ $ git fetch ../GitSetup setup:setup
+
+Merge the "setup" branch into the subtree:
+
+ $ git merge -X subtree=Utilities/GitSetup setup
+
+where "Utilities/GitSetup" is the same prefix used during the import
+setup, but without a trailing '/'.
+
+
+License
+-------
+
+Distributed under the Apache License 2.0.
