Just having checked out the GNU sed sources from GIT, I wanted to test

README says

   See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation

alas there is no such file:

Hi Gerald,

as you surely know, this file is installed by autoreconf, which in turn in sed is invoked by the "autoboot" script in the git repository.

I should add a README.hacking file with instructions on working from the git repository.

Thanks for the report!

Paolo
