+The git-el package previously provided the following modules for Emacs
+support:
+
+* git.el:
+
+  Status manager that displayed the state of all the files of the
+  project and provided access to the most frequently used Git
+  commands. Its interface was modeled after the pcl-cvs mode.
+
+  Modern alternatives include Magit, available from the elpa-magit
+  package, and the VC-mode backend for Git that is part of standard
+  Emacs distributions.
+
+* git-blame.el:
+
+  A wrapper for "git blame" written before Emacs's own vc-annotate
+  mode, which can be invoked using C-x v g, learned to invoke
+  "git blame".
+
+* vc-git.el:
+
+  This file used to contain the VC-mode backend for Git, but it is no
+  longer distributed with Git. It is now maintained as part of Emacs
+  and included in standard Emacs distributions.
