+# **build_docs.sh** - Build the gh-pages docs for DevStack
+#
+# - Install shocco if not found on PATH
+# - Clone MASTER_REPO branch MASTER_BRANCH
+# - Re-creates ``docs`` directory from existing repo + new generated script docs
+
+# Usage:
+## build_docs.sh [[-b branch] [-p] repo] | .
+## -b branch        The DevStack branch to check out (default is master; ignored if
+##                  repo is not specified)
+## -p               Push the resulting docs tree to the source repo; fatal error if
+##                  repo is not specified
+## repo             The DevStack repository to clone (default is DevStack github repo)
+##                  If a repo is not supplied use the current directory
+##                  (assumed to be a DevStack checkout) as the source.
+## .                Use the current repo and branch (do not use with -p to
+##                  prevent stray files in the workspace being added tot he docs)
