+Updating gnulib
+---------------
+
+Here's how to update the submodule, using that project's "stable-202407"
+branch as an example. From the root of your checkout:
+
+ $ cd gnulib
+ $ git checkout -b stable-202407 --track origin/stable-202407
+ $ git pull
+ $ cd ..
+ $ editor ChangeLog # log it
+ $ git commit
+
+It's likely a good idea to update the "bootstrap" script at the same
+time (not necessarily in the same commit, however).
+
+ $ ./bootstrap --bootstrap-sync
+ $ editor ChangeLog # log it
+ $ git commit
+
