+Most of this project is auto-generated.
+
+The notable directories which are not auto-generated:
+
+ google-api-go-generator/ -- the generator itself
+ google-api/ -- shared common code, used by auto-generated code
+ examples/ -- sample code
+
+When changing the generator, re-compile all APIs and submit the
+modified APIs in the same CL as the generator changes itself.
