+# Test hook to launch an irker instance (if it doesn't already exist)
+# just before shipping the notification. We start it in in another terminal
+# so you can watch the debug messages. Probably only of interest only to
+# developers
+#
+# To use it, set up irkerhook.py to file on each commit.
+# Then set the filtercmd variable in your repo config as follows:
+# 
+# [irker]
+#      filtercmd = filter-test.py
+#
+# This is rather antisocial - imagine thousands of irkerds holding open
+# connections to IRCDs.  It's better to go through an instance running
+# at your forge or set up for shared use by your intranet administrator.
