Added new 'push' command and 2-parameter form of 'add'.

Now you can do:

	git subtree add --prefix=whatever git://wherever branchname

to add a new branch, instead of rather weirdly having to do 'git fetch'
first.  You can also split and push in one step:

	git subtree push --prefix=whatever git://wherever newbranch

(Somewhat cleaned up by apenwarr.)

 HOW TO INSTALL git-subtree
 ==========================
 
-Copy the file 'git-subtree.sh' to /usr/local/bin/git-subtree.
+You simply need to copy the file 'git-subtree.sh' to where
+the rest of the git scripts are stored. 
+
+From the Git bash window just run:
+
+install.sh 
+
+Or if you have the full Cygwin installed, you can use make:
+
+make install
 
 That will make a 'git subtree' (note: space instead of dash) command
 available.  See the file git-subtree.txt for more.
