This is the canonical version, and I guess in theory I'm still taking care of it. However, the need that git.el was originally addressing is now fulfilled by better tools. As such, I feel that it has outlived its usefulness, and I'm no longer actively developing it. I'd recommend that anybody still using it switch to Magit, which is being actively maintained, and IMO superior to git.el in all respects. -- Alexandre Julliard julli...@winehq.org

Please do not top post. a) What problem does it solve by staying? b) Where are the tests? c) Why it cannot be moved to an outside repository like may other git-related tools? Fair enough. I guess the target should rather be to get it into the emacs distribution. It's already in Emacs in a different form, as part of the generic VC support. And nowadays, users are probably better served by using something like Magit anyway. As far as my code is concerned I have no objections to removing it. -- Alexandre Julliard julli...@winehq.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: [PATCH] emacs: make 'git-status' work with separate git dirs

The patch fixes this by relaxing the existing detection a little bit. Signed-off-by: Enrico Scholz enrico.sch...@sigma-chemnitz.de --- This script already relies on the assumption that nobody sane would create a directory named .git that is not a git repository, and this loosens the assumption that nobody would create a file named .git, either. So I would think it is a sane thing to do, but just in case if the area expert has better ideas, I am forwarding it. Ack? Sure, that's fine. -- Alexandre Julliard julli...@winehq.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
