I found this in the doc/ subdirectory of the repository: http://c9x.me/git/?p=ed.git;a=blob;f=doc/republic.txt;h=366f...

I am really curious about what the full text of Republic is doing here...

I thought it could be fun to include it in the documentation. Why not, after all. This is a good read. It turns out that I also used it for tests, if the editor behaves smoothly on this file I judge it fast enough.

Its probably for testing purpose. Its a big file of natural text so you can easily checks a lot of things with it and its a lot less boring than pages of lorem ipsum...

But, its funny that it is more than half of the full content in the git clone...

Ah, indeed. It turns out that the "doc" actually means "text documents" instead of "software documentation".
