+Additional requirements for maintainers
+---------------------------------------

+If you are a maintainer, you will want to minimize the number of tests that

+Building off the Git repository
+===============================
+
+Access to the Git repository is described at
+https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=libunistring .
+
+After fetching the sources from the Git repository, peek at the comments in
+autogen.sh, then run
+  ./gitsub.sh pull
+  ./autogen.sh
+Then you can proceed with "./configure" as usual.
+
+Each time you want to update the source, do not only "git pull".  Instead do
+  git pull && ./gitsub.sh pull
+  ./autogen.sh
