Subject: [filter-repo PATCH] filter-repo: help with local install
Date: Fri,  9 Jul 2021 17:25:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e3d6c6d670b46d4f0dc133e83c6feede4d55c412.1625844149.git.git@grubix.eu> (raw)

The Makefile suggests a local install and works almost as is, except for
the python path. Make it work automatically for this typical use case,
and give a corresponding hint in INSTALL.md.
