history. You can see a summary of contributions at
https://github.com/google/guava/graphs/contributors. However, Git history
over-counts some people's contributions because they were responsible for
mirroring out changes from our internal repo.

This files serves mainly to credit people who have not received proper credit
in the Git history.

 * <p><b>Do not use this interface</b> for public or protected declarations: it is a fig leaf for

    tests, either. This causes it to fail to find AtomicLongMapTest.

    Our workaround is to tell GWT that util.concurrent and all other packages
    have prod supersource, even if they have none. GWT is happy to ignore us
    when we specify a nonexistent path.

    (I hope that this workaround does not cause its own problems in the future.)
