From cc3db874b5cdff4e31d11bacbf4db6986ff48805 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shawn Wilkinson Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 00:06:39 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Documentation in Markdown for Depends Dir Documentation more readable when viewed on Github. Some extra changes by @laanwj: - Make README.usage the default README. This is more convenient from a user perspective.
