Anurag Verma added documentation for the cloc.exe binary included in codercops/repo_meta_data_script, specifying its upstream source, version, license, and platform scope.
The commit to codercops/repo_meta_data_script documented that cloc.exe is the Windows build of cloc v2.08 by Al Danial, released under GPL-2.0 and sourced from github.com/AlDanial/cloc [1]. Verma explained that the binary is a roughly 9.5 MB PAR::Packer bundle, which accounts for its large file size, and noted that it is only used on win32 platforms. The documentation included a SHA-256 hash so the binary can be verified against the description, providing a way to confirm the bundled executable matches the expected upstream release.
