+This module is meant to be built alone and not added to the Opensim code base. References are made to required dlls through a 
+reference file, ContentManagement.mdp. Originally, for development, this project was contained in the Opensim/Region/Modules/
+directory. 
+
+To compile: nant
+To use: Copy ContentManagement.dll into the bin directory of your Opensim build. You should find many other dlls in the same directory.
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+To build the libgit.so file:
+
+#Download GIT git repository
+$ git clone git://git2.kernel.org/pub/OpenSim/Region/Environment/Modules/ContentManagementSystem/scm/git/git.git
+$ cd git
+
+#Compile GIT
+#Note that we are adding two extra flags to pass to gcc while compiling (-c and -fPIC)
+$ autoconf
+$ ./configure
+$ CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -c -fPIC" make
+
+#Copy necessary object files (and some not so necessary) to their own directory for shared object file creation
+$ mkdir ../libgit-objects
+$ cp builtin*.o ../libgit-objects
+$ cp xdiff/*.o ../libgit-objects
+$ cp libgit.a ../libgit-objects
+
+#Remove the main symbol from any object files (like git.o)
+$ cd ../libgit-objects
+$ strip -N main *.o
+
+#Uncompress the plumbing objects from archive created by git
+$ ar x libgit.a
+
+#Create shared object file from all objects (including the zlib library)
+$ ld -shared -soname libgit.so.1 -o libgit.so.1.5.6.3 -lc -lz *.o
+
+
+#You can also just copy the following commands into a file and run as a script inside the git directory
+
+make clean
+autoconf
+./configure
+CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -c -fPIC" make
+mkdir libgit-objects
+cp builtin*.o libgit-objects
+cp xdiff/*.o libgit-objects
+cp libgit.a libgit-objects
+cd libgit-objects
+strip -N main *.o
