All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

+## OVERLAY SYSTEM
+
+`vcsh` also provides an overlay system. Similar to hooks, the recommended
+locations are <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/overlays-available> and
+<$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/overlays-enabled>.

+Overlays follow the same rules as hooks and you are free to overwrite any
+and all functions. As the overlays will be sourced and you are replacing
+arbitrary functions, any and all features may stop working, or you may even
+lose data. You have been warned.
