+# Third party dependencies for neovim
+
+This directory contains any third party dependencies for neovim which, for one
+reason or another, we cannot rely on the system to supply.
+
+Ideally commits within this directory will only be merge commits from upstream
+projects. The "git subtree" tool is a good choice for managing such merge
+commits. In order to avoid needlessly inflating the bandwidth required to clone
+neovim, the ``--squash`` option for git subtree should be used.
