As a developer to this repository, you don't have to treat the following external projects
differently from other crates that are directly in this repo:
-* none so far, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70651 for more info
+* Clippy
They are just regular files and directories. This is in contrast to `submodule` dependencies
(see below for those). Only tool authors will actually use any operations here.
This will create a new commit, which you may not rebase under any circumstances! Delete the commit
and redo the operation if you need to rebase.
-Now you're done, the `src/tools/clippy` directory behaves as if clippy were part of the rustc
+Now you're done, the `src/tools/clippy` directory behaves as if Clippy were part of the rustc
monorepo, so no one but you (or others that synchronize subtrees) actually needs to use `git subtree`.
Currently building Rust will also build the following external projects:
-* [clippy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy)
* [miri](https://github.com/rust-lang/miri)
* [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt)
* [rls](https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/)

-In many cases, you don't need a full `./x.py doc`. You can use `rustdoc` directly
-to check small fixes. For example, `rustdoc src/doc/reference.md` will render
-reference to `doc/reference.html`. The CSS might be messed up, but you can
-verify that the HTML is right.
+In many cases, you don't need a full `./x.py doc`, which will build the entire
+stage 2 compiler and compile the various books published on
+[doc.rust-lang.org]. When updating documentation for the standard library,
+first try `./x.py doc --stage 0 src/libstd`. If that fails, or if you need to
+see the output from the latest version of `rustdoc`, use `--stage 1` instead of
+`--stage 0`. Results should appear in `build/$TARGET/crate-docs`.
