+To install git follow these 4 steps inside your git directory:
+$ autoconf      # Generates the configure file from configure.ac
+$ ./configure   # Configures everything needed to build git

... if you're on a Debian-derived system. The other half of the
world, which is RedHat-derived, uses RPM. And there are
other package management tools. Maybe that was a reason
why the instructions weren't included before.
