From 26d9443925517f6d93dbcb6f4eca30af82703de3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Gernhardt Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2009 21:51:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] INSTALL: Reorder dependencies, split shell and Perl The most important and non-optional dependencies should go first, so put them there. While we're moving them, the descriptions for shell and perl were archaic, referring to "bare-bones Porcelainish scripts" that have become powerful and essential.
