+This repository stores and keeps track of the configuration of my
+NetBSD laptop computer.
+
+It is configured as a bare Git repository in /.git. The following
+shell script (named gg) used to manage it:

+ #!/bin/sh
+ exec git --git-dir=/.git --work-tree=/ "$@"
+
+This README records important pieces of configuration that is not
+well represented in the file system.

+Occasionally, I use programs that are written in some GUI toolkit

+at the following address:
