  2. All contributions must be licensed Apache 2.0 and all files must have a
     copy of the boilerplate license comment (can be copied from an existing
     file).
  3. Files should be formatted according to Google's [Java style guide][].
  4. Please squash all commits for a change into a single commit (this can be
     done using `git rebase -i`). Do your best to have a
     [well-formed commit message][] for the change.
