+This file contains the describing the manifest repo. The repo contains manifests
+for one ot more targets located in separate directories. Each of these contain:
+
+README                : A README file that will be made available for the
+                        customer after repo sync. It contains build and boot
+                        commands and other specific info.
+                        Auto generated using .README and output from ELTF.
+
+.README               : A template for generating the README file. Currently,
+                        build and boot commands are provided by ELTF and they
+                        are integrated into .README to generate README. This is
+                        quite a mess, but the long term plan is to modify this
+                        in a way that makes the template obsolete.
+
+manifest_template.xml : A template for default.xml. It contains a list of the
+                        repos together with versions. The versions can be
+                        specified using branches, tags, or hashes.
+
+default.xml           : This a time-invariant snapshot of manifest_template.xml.
+                        The difference is that all versions are specified as
+                        hashes.
+                        Auto-generated using manifest_template and data from
+                        the remotes.
