-You can put this directory into your PATH, or symlink the programs in this
-directory to anyplace already in your PATH, and use git-annex the same
-as if you'd installed it using a package manager.
-
-Or, you can use the runshell script in this directory to start a shell
-that is configured to use git-annex and the other utilities included in
-this bundle, including git, gpg, rsync, ssh, etc.
-
-This should work on any Linux system of the appropriate architecture.
-More or less.
-
-
-How it works: This directory tree contains a lot of libraries and programs
-that git-annex needs. But it's not a chroot. Instead, runshell sets a lot
-of environment variables to cause files from here to be used, and a shim
-around the binaries arranges for them to be run with the libraries in here.
-
-It shouldn't even be dependent on the host system's glibc libraries.
-All that's needed is a kernel that supports the glibc included in this
-bundle.
