+This is a plugin for setuptools that enables git integration. Once
+installed, Setuptools can be told to include in a package distribution
+all the files tracked by git. This is an alternative to explicit
+inclusion specifications with MANIFEST.in.
+
+This package was formerly known as gitlsfiles. The name change is the
+result of an effort by the setuptools plugin developers to provide a
+uniform naming convention.
