This is what I had in mind, but I didn't think about the CODING file, I guess
the git stuff can be moved there, though that might be info overload for casual
users that want to try development sources:

Only the Mac section is updated here to refer to the git section and to have
git installation instructions. Similar would be needed for Linux and Windows.

While looking over the Mac build instructions for 1.7 release, I realized
the whole SVN section will have to be changed to be about git.
Then it occurred to me - why are we mentioning getting source from svn (now
git) at all for a release? This is in a released source package. Of
course, svn/git applies to trunk (now master).
Maybe to accomodate both a release and git the body platform sections could
be about release packages, with reference to a separate section at the end
(after all platform sections) that covers git for those interested. That
would also reduce some redundancy in describing git setup and commands.
Yeah or we should just move all git related stuff into CODING.t2t
which is intended for developers (who are probably more likely to
actually care about such things)and just put a note referring to
that file in the INSTALL.t2t docs.
