+## Notes
 
 Note on Gradle wrapper files in `.gitignore`:
 
-Gradle wrapper files should normally be checked into source control.
-The example projects don't do that to avoid having several copies of the
-wrapper binary in the Flutter repo. Instead, the Gradle wrapper is
-injected by Flutter tooling, and the wrapper files are .gitignore'd to
-avoid making the Flutter repository dirty as a side effect of running
-the examples.
