+## Getting set up
 
-1. The current set of patches against notmuch master is in branch nmbug, 
+1. Install and use notmuch version notmuch 0.9+63~gebd1adc or newer.
 
-    git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/notmuch.git
-
-    Currently you need at least the version of notmuch in master, and
-    the script in contrib/nmbug.
+   The nmbug script is available in contrib/nmbug
       
 2. The current tag repo can be obtained by
 
-    git clone --bare git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/nmbug.git $HOME/.nmbug
+      git clone --bare git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/nmbug.git $HOME/.nmbug
+
+    Check that your git is recent enough by entering
+
+      git --git-dir=$HOME/.nmbug fetch
+
+    If you get failures then you need to update your git (as well).
