The actual function of git-subtree is one single file. You can just
copy it to wherever you like. Personally, I add the git-subtree
source directory to my PATH from .bashrc... but I guess I'm special
because I also change my version of git-subtree a lot :)
Make sure to run 'make test' first so you know it's working on your computer.
And I'll second Sverre's suggestion to *always* back up your
repository before doing weird stuff (although git-subtree is designed
to refuse to overwrite existing branches, and nobody has ever reported
it damaging anything).
Have fun,
Avery
