I do not like the idea that information is stored deeper and deeper
in hierarchy. They are two separate things and should be mentioned
in the README. Not having to read about where to find information
about installing from the repo using the file intended to show how
to install from the tarball.
Do not make it difficult for users to get to the basic information
they need.
README should describe both immediately at the start. Not just about
installing from the tarball.
