 ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
 
 Yes, lots of luck over the years :-)  This is the final little tweak required to get it working for me on Android.

+The problem is the new git-annex-install script, when it exits, dumps the
+user back into the shell they were in before, and that shell has not gotten
+its path updated. And without sourcing the download script into the current
+shell, it has no way to update the path. 
+
+I suppose the best thing is to ask the user to source the script, and then
+the script can set PATH. Which I've now done.
