Indeed, thanks for the note, and also Junio for fixing while queuing.

Subject: [PATCH] contrib: git-remote-{bzr,hg} placeholders don't need Python

It does not make sense for these placeholder scripts to depend on Python
just because the real scripts do. At the example of Git for Windows, we
would not even be able to see those warnings as it does not ship with
Python. So just use plain shell scripts instead.

Yup, let's queue it and remove it in a few years.

Thanks.

Just a niggle:  This change moves the warning message from stderr to stdout.

Yeah, this seems like an obvious improvement. I think we got here
because the originals issued a warning but kept working, and then it was
slowly whittled down to remove the "working" part.

At some point these can probably go away. It's been 3 years since they
turned into nothing but warnings, so presumably most people have
upgraded by now (I know people often go a long time on old
distro-packaged versions, but the distro packagers would presumably
figure this out in the meantime).

OTOH, it is not really hurting much, so I do not mind keeping them
around for another 3 years (or more) just to catch any stragglers.
