+Issues of note:
+
+- StGit requires git version 1.5.6 or later. (Specifically, it needs a
+  git that includes commit a8128ed6: "git-cat-file: Add --batch option".)
+
+- To build and install the documentation, you need to have the
+  asciidoc/xmlto toolchain.  The default build target ("make all")
+  does _not_ build them.
