Show Tarball and Gitfeed alternatives to a git person, who already has a clone of the project, and guess which one he would go ;-). Also INSTALL file begins with: Installation instructions ------------------------- Download a tarball from http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/releases[] or clone the tig repository http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/tig.git[]. Documentation files are available either in the tarballs or in the above repository in the branch named 'release'. To install tig simply run: $ autoreconf $ ./configure $ make install By the way, it would be nice if someday I can get tig work with CJK. Perhaps I need to tweak something in ncurses?
