+# Generate buildsystem files
+#
+# This script generate buildsystem files based on the output of a
+# GNU Make --dry-run, enabling Windows users to develop Git with their
+# trusted IDE with native projects.
+#
+# Note:
+# It is not meant as *the* way of building Git with MSVC, but merely a
+# convenience. The correct way of building Git with MSVC is to use the
+# GNU Make tool to build with the maintained Makefile in the root of
+# the project. If you have the msysgit environment installed and
+# available in your current console, together with the Visual Studio
+# environment you wish to build for, all you have to do is run the
+# command:
+#     make MSVC=1
