+So that we can pull future updates from the `java-repo-tools` repository, we
+merge histories. This way we won't get unnecessary conflicts when pulling changes
+in.
+
+```
+git merge -s ours --no-commit java-repo-tools/master
+```
+
+Finally, read the `java-repo-tools` into a subtree.
+
+```
 git read-tree --prefix=java-repo-tools/ -u java-repo-tools
