+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a mirror repository of Context_, a document processing system
+built around Donald E. Knuth’s TeX_. Inconveniently, Context is
+supplied only as file archives and thus lacks version control. The
+mirror aims at providing a source controlled repository to facilitate
+common operations like bisection. Still no commit messages, though,
+besides timestamps.
