+# vim: syn=perl:
+
+# "sugar script" (syntactic sugar helper) for gitolite3
+
+# Enabling this script in the rc file allows you to use back-slash escaped
+# continuation lines, like in C or shell etc.
+
+# This script also serves as an example "sugar script" if you want to write
+# your own (and maybe send them to me).  A "sugar script" in gitolite will be
+# executed via a perl 'do' and is expected to contain one function called
+# 'sugar_script'.  This function should take a listref and return a listref.
+# Each item in the list is one line.  There are NO newlines; g3 kills them off
+# fairly early in the process.
+
+# If you're not familiar with perl please do not try this.  Ask me to write
+# you a sugar script instead.
