    AFS
        A networked filesystem that is widely deployed at MIT and CMU.
        ``scripts.mit.edu`` serves files from AFS.

    pristine
        The branch containing clean, unmodified copies of application code straight
        from upstream, though possibly with blank :file:`.preserve-dir` files
        added to empty directories to preserve their existence in Git.

    versions store
        The directory residing in ``/mit/scripts/sec-tools/store/versions``.
        It is generated by :command:`parallel-find.pl` (found at
        :file:`/mit/scripts/sbin/parallel-find.pl`) and conventionally
        contains one file per locker, each containing install lines for every
        autoinstall in that locker.  This directory is used for determining
        what "all autoinstalls" means and can be overridden using
        :option:`--versions-path`.  A file can also be a versions store.
