There are many different ways to cut a cake with Git.  Problem is, not
all of them work with all the versions of Git.

Unless something is really wrong with the recipe in nt/INSTALL, I
don't think it's a good idea to confuse the readers by presenting
additional methods.  This problem is supposed to be very rare anyway.

Thanks.
