Description-en: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (emacs support)
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
central server.
.
This transitional package provides two modules that previously could be
used for integration with Emacs: git.el and git-blame.el. Now the
modules print an error message with instructions that users can use to
migrate to Emacs's VC-mode backend for Git or Magit.
