+                TopGit installation
+
+Direct from source
+------------------
+
+Although TopGit is essentially a bunch of shell scripts (and their
+accompanying documentation), it does require some preprocessing.
+
+Normally you can just do "make" followed by "make install", and that will
+install the tg program in your own ~/bin/ directory.  If you want to do a
+global install, you can do
+
+   # make prefix=/usr install ;# as root
+
+(or prefix=/usr/local, of course).  Just like any program suite that uses
+$prefix, the built results have some paths encoded, which are derived from
+$prefix, so "make all; make prefix=/usr install" would not work.
+
+The Makefile does not currently install the bash completion support in
+contrib/tg-completion.bash. Instructions for installing that file are at the
+top of that file.
+
+
+Other
+-----
+
+Alternatively, you can install using OS/distro-specific packages or similar
+- which should also pull in git as a dependency if you are installing on
+a machine which does not already have git installed.
+
+Note that most such packages have not yet been updated to point to the new
+TopGit repo on GitHub. Ones that have are listed below:
