+# This script can be installed in .git/config to allow rebasing old patches across
+# libc++'s clang-format of the whole tree. Most contributors should not require that
+# since they don't have many pre-clang-format patches lying around. This script is to
+# make it easier for contributors that do have such patches.
+#
+# The script is installed by running the following from the root of your repository:
+#
+#   $ git config merge.libcxx-reformat.name "Run clang-format when rebasing libc++ patches"
+#   $ git config merge.libcxx-reformat.driver "libcxx/utils/clang-format-merge-driver.sh %O %A %B %P"
+#
+# This is based on https://github.com/nico/hack/blob/main/notes/auto_git_rebase_across_mechanical_changes.md.
+# Many thanks to Nico Weber for paving the way here.
