 4. Git submodules maintenance
 =============================
 
-These instructions are for developers working on code in this repository. End users do not need to be
-concerned with the procedures described below. The description applies to each of the submodules used
-by mono. To list the submodules in use run:
-
-    git submodule
-
-If you have write access to the submodule repository do your work on it in a separate location, do not ever
-do any work in the mono copy of the submodule.
-
-All submodules should reside under the external/ directory off the top level Mono directory. If you want to add
-a new submodule, issue the following command from the Mono topmost directory:
-
-   git submodule add REPOSITORY_URL external/MODULE_NAME
-
-After that commit and push the changes to .gitmodule and the submodule itself.
-
-4.1 Submodule repository of origin maintenance
-==============================================
-
-The submodule repository of origin (at the REPOSITORY_URL above) must always be modified outside the Mono directory.
-The repository may be a fork or clone of yet another GIT repository, either on github or elsewhere. If this is the case,
-you must configure your clone of it by adding a remote reference to the upstream repository:
-
-    git remote add upstream UPSTREAM_URL
-
-When there exist upstream changes you need to merge, the following command needs to be used:
-
-    git fetch upstream/master
-
-followed by
-
-    git merge upstream/BRANCH_NAME
-
-and as soon as all the possible confilits are resolved, push the freshly integrated changes back to our repository
-
-    git push origin/BRANCH_NAME
-
-4.2 Submodule maintenance in Mono repository
-============================================
-
-When the submodule repository of origin is ready to be used by Mono, you need to go to the top level directory of
-Mono repository clone and make sure the submodules are checked out and up to date:
-
-    git submodule init
-    git submodule update --recursive
-
-Then in order to integrate changes from the submodule repository of origin:
-
-    cd external/MODULE_NAME
-    git pull
-
-you can, of course, use a a specific commit in the 'git pull' above instead of the default HEAD. When the changes are
-checked out, commit the changes to the Mono repository:
-
-    cd ../..
-    git add external/MODULE_NAME
-    git commit -m "Module MODULE_NAME updated"
-    git push
-
-It is _extremely_ important not to end the 'external/MODULE_NAME' reference above with a / since that will make git remove
-the submodule reference and commit all its contents as normal files to Mono directory. It is also required that you _always_
-push the submodule changes _before_ any and all work requiring the changes is done in the Mono repository.
