 # Make a release of hdf5.
 #
-# Programmer: Robb Matzke
-# Creation date: on or before 1998-01-29.
+#   NOTE:
+#   This script differs from bin/release in that this has an added
+#   --revision option to create private releases with the code revision
+#   hash in the version strings.

-# Modifications
-#   Robb Matzke, 1999-07-16
-#   The SunOS 5.6 sed *must* have slashes as delimiters. I changed things like
-#   `sed s+/CVS++' to `sed 's/\/CVS//'
-#
-#   Albert Cheng, 1999-10-26
-#   Moved the MANIFEST checking to a separate command file so that
-#   it can be invoked individually.
-#
-#   Albert Cheng, 2004-08-14
-#   Added the --private option.
-#
-#   James Laird, 2005-09-07
-#   Added the md5 method.
-#
-#   Larry Knox, 2016-08-30
-#   Added the --revision option to create private releases with the 
-#   code revision hash in the version strings. Currently the version
-#   of this script with the --revision option is named bbrelease. It 
-#   can probably be merged into the original release script in the
-#   future.
-#   Commands to get the revision hash have now been converted to git
-#   to match the source repository change.
+#   This script can probably be merged into the original release script in

 for compressing the resulting tar archive (if none are given then
 "tar" is assumed):

-    diff:     Run diff on current and previous versions.  Exit 0 if

-    deploy:   deploy binary to directory <dir>
