This directory used to contain various modules for Emacs support.
|
|
|
|
These were added shortly after Git was first released. Since then
|
|
Emacs's own support for Git got better than what was offered by these
|
|
modes. There are also popular 3rd-party Git modes such as Magit which
|
|
offer replacements for these.
|
|
|
|
The following modules were available, and can be dug up from the Git
|
|
history:
|
|
|
|
* git.el:
|
|
|
|
Wrapper for "git status" that provided access to other git commands.
|
|
|
|
Modern alternatives to this include Magit, and VC mode that ships
|
|
with Emacs.
|
|
|
|
* git-blame.el:
|
|
|
|
A wrapper for "git blame" written before Emacs's own vc-annotate
|
|
mode learned to invoke git-blame, which can be done via C-x v g.
|
|
|
|
* vc-git.el:
|
|
|
|
This file used to contain the VC-mode backend for git, but it is no
|
|
longer distributed with git. It is now maintained as part of Emacs
|
|
and included in standard Emacs distributions starting from version
|
|
22.2.
|
|
|
|
If you have an earlier Emacs version, upgrading to Emacs 22 is
|
|
recommended, since the VC mode in older Emacs is not generic enough
|
|
to be able to support git in a reasonable manner, and no attempt has
|
|
been made to backport vc-git.el.
