Public bug reported:
I installed git-core and expected the Emacs support to also load.
However, it contains a hedge condition which prevents it from loading on
Emacs 23. Curiously, the comment states that the Git stuff is already
included in Emacs 23, but I find that this is not the case with the
Emacs 23.1.1 we have on Ubuntu Lucid.
Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious; in any case, the obvious
workaround seems to work for me;
(let ((emacs-version "22"))
(load-file "/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50git-core.el"))
I notice that the Emacs support has been split out to git-el in newer
versions of Ubuntu, but I'm posting this so that others who have the
same problem can at least find a discussion of it.
