+// soong_glob is the command line tool that checks if the list of files matching a glob has
+// changed, and only updates the output file list if it has changed.  It is used to optimize
+// out build.ninja regenerations when non-matching files are added.  See
+// android/soong/common/glob.go for a longer description.
