+Source Code Checkout
+--------------------
+
+If you don't already have the source code downloaded (in the form of a .zip or
+.tbz2 file), you can obtain the latest source code from Git. MinGW users can
+obtain Git by installing msysgit (described in the MinGW section). Linux users
+can just install the 'git' or 'git-core' package with whatever package manager
+they use. Note that there is another package called 'git' going around which
+stands for 'GNU interactive tools'. This is not what you want.
+
+Once you have Git installed, you just need to do:
+
+    git clone git://crawl-ref.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/crawl-ref/crawl-ref
+
+And then to get the contributing libraries, enter the newly cloned repository
+via 'cd crawl-ref' and type:
+
+    git submodule update --init
+
+This should get you all you need to build Crawl from source.
