From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Mon, 12 May 2025 09:19:59 +0000 (+0200) Subject: contrib: remove "emacs" directory X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=95bc4474190515ca03ebe8719951949ecef73a6c;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git contrib: remove "emacs" directory While the "emacs/" directory still exists, all of its code has been replaced with stubs in 6d5ed4836db (git{,-blame}.el: remove old bitrotting Emacs code, 2018-04-11). Instead, the recommendation is to use Emacs' own vc-annotate mode. Remove the code altogether.
