+# This workflow runs when a comment is made on the ticket
+# If the comment starts with "label: " it tries to apply
+# the label indicated in rest of comment.
+# If the comment starts with "remove label: ", it tries
+# to remove the indicated label.
+# Note: Labels are allowed to have spaces and this script does
+# not parse spaces (as often a space is legitimate), so the command
+# "label: really long lots of words label" will apply the
+# label "really long lots of words label"
