-# This script must be run from the root of the Nix repository.
-#
-# For include path hygiene, we need to put headers in a separate
-# directory than sources. But during development, it is nice to paths
-# that are similar for headers and source files, e.g.
-# `foo/bar/baz.{cc,hh}`, e.g. for less typing when opening one file, and
-# then opening the other file.
-#
-# This script symlinks the headers next to the source files to
-# facilitate such a development workflows. It also updates
-# `.git/info/exclude` so that the symlinks are not accidentally committed
-# by mistake.
