biblatex-german-legal - comprehensive citation style for German legal texts

The `biblatex-german-legal` aims to provide citation style (for footnotes and
bibliographies) for German legal texts. Currently it is focused on citations
in books, but may be extended for journal articles in the future.

The source code is available in a git repository accessible at
git://git.linta.de/~brodo/biblatex-german-legal.git , which may be browsed at
https://git.linta.de/?p=~brodo/biblatex-german-legal.git;a=summary . If you
click on 'snapshot' there, you can download a tar.gz containing the contents
of the repository.

The rationale behind this package is as follows: The package I have relied
upon previously ('biblatex-juradiss') has become outdated. The alternatives,
in particular 'biblatex-jura2', do not offer (yet) the flexibility I prefer,
and (though this is a matter of subjective taste) partly follow stylistic
choices I do not share. Parts of this code are inspired, however, by these
two packages. Though this package is not a Derived Work of these other
packages within the meaning of the LPPL, here are, in line with section 5
lit. d sublit. ii of the LPPL, references to these packages:

- biblatex-juradiss: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-juradiss
- biblatex-jura2:    https://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-jura2
