+# GitHub's language statistics count every tracked file, so a checked-in
+# third-party bundle is reported as if we wrote it. Swagger UI and the jQuery
+# plugins ship here as vendored bundles: 5.3 MB of the 5.33 MB of JavaScript in
+# this repository is theirs, which had GitHub calling a Python project 46%
+# JavaScript. Marking them linguist-vendored leaves them in the tree and in the
+# diff, and only takes them out of the language breakdown.

+# Ours, and deliberately still counted: api/static/js/dis.js,

+# api/static/css/tablesorter-jrc1.css.
