Address #672
This updates the docs to move forward the "older" version of Ubuntu to 20.04.
Reading the
INSTALL
file from the git source does cover dependencies in detail but it doesn't call out the actual libs for those on a specific distro.I've added a shortlist of
apt
libraries that are likely needed to build Git from source on Ubuntu 20.04, sourced originally from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-git-from-source-on-ubuntu-20-04-quickstart.
