A build of Seedvault is bundled as an apk into an external/ repository. There are no modifications made to it.
+Manifests for stable releases are generated with repo manifest -r
+ after tagging the release across all the repositories in a temporary branch and
+ syncing to it. This provides a manifest referencing the commits by hashes instead of
+ just tags to lock in the revisions. This makes verification of the releases simpler,
+ since only the manifest tag needs to be verified rather than tags for each
+ repository. This also means the whole release can be verified using the GrapheneOS
+ signing key despite referencing many upstream repositories that are not forked by the
+ GrapheneOS project.
