Dependencies
------------
-``update-copyright`` is a simple package with few external
-dependencies. The only external dependencies are the Python packages
-behind Python-based version control systems. If you're using those
-VCSs, you've already installed the packages. If you're not using
-those VCSs, you don't need the packages.
+``update-copyright`` is a simple package with no external dependencies
+outside of the VCS commands themselves (e.g. you need `git` in your
+`PATH` to use the Git_ backend, and `hg` in your `PATH` to use the
+Mercurial_ backend).
Installing by hand
------------------
=====
You'll need a project that you version with one of our supported VCSs
-(currently Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar, but it should be pretty easy to
-add backends for other systems). You'll also need a config file
-called ``.update-copyright.conf`` in your package root, which will be
-parsed using Python's RawConfigParser_ (`syntax documentation`_,
+(currently Git_ and Mercurial_, but it should be pretty easy to add
+backends for other systems). You'll also need a config file called
+``.update-copyright.conf`` in your package root, which will be parsed
+using Python's RawConfigParser_ (`syntax documentation`_,
interpolation is turned off). Your config file will look something
