29 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp is the repository maintenance tool for the
31 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp version control system.
34 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp stores the history of tracked files in a Git repository, as used
35 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp by the Git version control system.
37 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp provides commands for inspecting and manipulating the on-disk state of
38 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp Git repositories.
39 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp The repository format is described in
