If you are a committer you need to use https instead of http to check in, otherwise you will get an error regarding an inability to acquire a lock. Note that older versions of git may also give this error even when the repo was cloned with https; if you experience this try a newer version of git.

The Samza website is built by Jekyll from the markdown files found in the docs subdirectory. For committers wishing to update the webpage, please see `docs/README.md` for instructions.
