+# in OpenStack infrastructure, though you can run it as a one-off.

+# In order to function correctly, the environment in which the
+# script runs must have
+#   * a writable doc/source directory relative to the current
+#     working directory
+#   AND ( (
+#   * git
+#   * all git repos meant to be searched for plugins cloned and
+#     at the desired level of up-to-datedness
+#   * the environment variable git_dir pointing to the location
+#   * of said git repositories
+#   ) OR (
+#   * network access to the review.openstack.org Gerrit API
+#     working directory
+#   * network access to https://git.openstack.org/cgit
+#   ))
+#
+# If a file named data/tempest-plugins-registry.header or
+# data/tempest-plugins-registry.footer is found relative to the
+# current working directory, it will be prepended or appended to
+# the generated reStructuredText plugins table respectively.
