+	<longdescription>
+		Game of Trees (Got) is a version control system which prioritizes
+		ease of use and simplicity over flexibility.
+
+		Got uses Git repositories to store versioned data. Git can be used
+		for any functionality which has not yet been implemented in Got.
+		It will always remain possible to work with both Got and Git on the
+		same repository.
