This is here only to serve up copies of the most awesome modernizr dev version through Bower, since the current repository is not Bower friendly, and has issues with long paths that affect cloning on Windows.
The hope is that the original authors will eventually use a smaller distribution repo through Bower itself, rather than the current source repository.
As soon as that happens, this will disappear.
For now, use in component.json like this
{
"name": "ClientSide Dependencies",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "",
"dependencies": {
"modernizr": "git+https://github.com/Iristyle/bower-modernizr.git#2.6.2"
}
}
