Subject: [PATCH v4] git{,-blame}.el: remove old bitrotting Emacs code

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 20:42:05 +0000

The git-blame.el mode has been superseded by Emacs's own
vc-annotate (invoked by C-x v g). Users of the git.el mode are now
much better off using either Magit or the Git backend for Emacs's own
VC mode.

These modes were added over 10 years ago when Emacs's own Git support
was much less mature, and there weren't other mature modes in the wild
or shipped with Emacs itself.

These days these modes have few if any users, and users of git aren't
well served by us shipping these (some OS's install them alongside git
by default, which is confusing and leads users astray).

So let's remove these per Alexandre Julliard's message to the
ML[1]. If someone still wants these for some reason they're better
served by hosting these elsewhere (e.g. on ELPA), instead of us
distributing them with git.

However, since downstream packagers such as Debian are packaging this
as git-el it's less disruptive to still carry these files as Elisp
code that'll error out with a message suggesting alternatives, rather
than drop the files entirely[2].

Then rather than receive a cryptic load error when they upgrade
existing users will get an error directing them to the README file, or
to just stop requiring these modes. I think it makes sense to link to
GitHub's hosting of contrib/emacs/README (which'll be updated by the
time users see this) so they don't have to hunt down the packaged
README on their local system.

Indeed. Sorry for taking so long to act on this. Haven't had much time
for git recently. Now we still ship these Elisp files, but they just
error out with a message as suggested. Junio: This should address your
note about this series in the last What's Cooking.

-
-;;; Installation:
-;;
-;; To use this package, put it somewhere in `load-path' (or add
-;; directory with git-blame.el to `load-path'), and add the following
-;; line to your .emacs:
-;;
-;;    (require 'git-blame)
-;;
-;; If you do not want to load this package before it is necessary, you

-;; the following lines
-;;
-;;    (autoload 'git-blame-mode "git-blame"
-;;              "Minor mode for incremental blame for Git." t)
-;;
-;; Then first use of `M-x git-blame-mode' would load the package.
-
-;;; Compatibility:
-;;
-;; It requires GNU Emacs 21 or later and Git 1.5.0 and up
-;;
-;; If you'are using Emacs 20, try changing this:
-;;

-;;; Commentary:
-
-;; This file contains an interface for the git version control
-;; system. It provides easy access to the most frequently used git
-;; commands. The user interface is as far as possible identical to
-;; that of the PCL-CVS mode.
-;;
-;; To install: put this file on the load-path and place the following
-;; in your .emacs file:
-;;
-;;    (require 'git)
-;;
-;; To start: `M-x git-status'
-;;
-;; TODO
-;;  - diff against other branch
-;;  - renaming files from the status buffer
-;;  - creating tags
-;;  - fetch/pull
-;;  - revlist browser
-;;  - git-show-branch browser
-;;
-
-;;; Compatibility:
-;;
-;; This file works on GNU Emacs 21 or later. It may work on older
-;; versions but this is not guaranteed.
-;;
-;; It may work on XEmacs 21, provided that you first install the ewoc
-;; and log-edit packages.
