+Creating an additional repository - automation script
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+A script to automate the above steps is available in
+`vcs:~root/bin/gnu-sv-add-git-sub-repository.sh` and also in
+`fencepost:~agn/gnu-sv-scripts/gnu-sv-add-git-sub-repository.sh`.
+
+The script takes two parameters: the existing project name (e.g. `lwip`)
+and the new sub-repository name to create (e.g. `contrib`).
+
+Example, the following request: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108678>
+has been completed using:
+
+    ssh vcs
+    ~/bin/gnu-sv-add-git-sub-repository.sh guix artwork
+
+The script also prints the URLs for easy copy&pasting.
