+NAMESPACES
+----------
+
+A namespace may be created by creating a "HEAD" symbolic ref for the namespace,
+which may be done with the following command:
+
+....
+git symbolic-ref $namespace_ref_base/HEAD $namespace_ref_base/refs/heads/master
+....
+
+and adding "repo.namespace" for the repository.
+
+For a namespace called "foo/bar", the base ref would be
+"refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/",
+so the command to create the HEAD ref is:
+
+....
+git symbolic-ref refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/HEAD \
+                 refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/refs/heads/master
+....
+
+The config setting for this repository would be:
+
+....
+repo.namespace = foo/bar
+....
