According to
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/212649
Eric, the original author of ciabot, doesn't want the ciabot
no longer be included in git.git, hence the removal of the
whole directory.

-= Installation instructions =
-
-Two scripts are included. The Python one (ciabot.py) is faster and
-more capable; the shell one (ciabot.sh) is a fallback in case Python
-gives your git hosting site indigestion. (I know of no such sites.)
-
-It is no longer necessary to modify the script in order to put it
-in place; in fact, this is now discouraged. It is entirely
-configurable with the following git config variables:
-
-ciabot.project = name of the project
-ciabot.repo = name of the project repo for gitweb/cgit purposes
-ciabot.xmlrpc = if true, ship notifications via XML-RPC
-ciabot.revformat = format in which the revision is shown
-
-The revformat variable may have the following values
-raw - full hex ID of commit
-short - first 12 chars of hex ID
-describe - describe relative to last tag, falling back to short
-
-ciabot.project defaults to the directory name of the repository toplevel.
-ciabot.repo defaults to ciabot.project lowercased.
-ciabot.xmlrpc defaults to True
-ciabot.revformat defaults to 'describe'.
-
-This means that in the normal case you need not do any configuration at all,
-however setting ciabot.project will allow the hook to run slightly faster.
-
-Once you've set these variables, try your script with -n to see the
-notification message dumped to stdout and verify that it looks sane.
-
-To live-test these scripts, your project needs to have been registered with
-the CIA site. Here are the steps:
-
-1. Open an IRC window on irc://freenode/commits or your registered
- project IRC channel.
-
-2. Run ciabot.py and/or ciabot.sh from any directory under git
- control.
-
-You should see a notification on the channel for your most recent commit.
-
-After verifying correct function, install one of these scripts either
-in a post-commit hook or in an update hook.
-
-In post-commit, run it without arguments. It will query for
-current HEAD and the latest commit ID to get the information it
-needs.
-
-In update, call it with a refname followed by a list of commits:
-You want to reverse the order git rev-list emits because it lists
-from most recent to oldest.

-These are hook scripts for the CIA notification service at http://cia.vc/
-
-They are maintained by Eric S. Raymond e...@thyrsus.com. There is an
-upstream resource page for them at http://www.catb.org/esr/ciabot/,
-but they are unlikely to change rapidly.
-
-You probably want the Python version; it's faster, more capable, and
-better documented. The shell version is maintained only as a fallback
-for use on hosting sites that don't permit Python hook scripts.
-
-See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
