Since then +Emacs's own support for Git got better than what was offered by these +modes. There are also popular 3rd-party Git modes such as Magit which +offer replacements for these. + +The following modules were available, and can be dug up from the Git +history: + +* git.el: + + Wrapper for "git status" that provided access to other git commands. + + Modern alternatives to this include Magit, and VC mode that ships + with Emacs. + +* git-blame.el: + + A wrapper for "git blame" written before Emacs's own vc-annotate + mode learned to invoke git-blame, which can be done via C-x v g. + +* 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 starting from version + 22.2. + + If you have an earlier Emacs version, upgrading to Emacs 22 is + recommended, since the VC mode in older Emacs is not generic enough + to be able to support git in a reasonable manner, and no attempt has + been made to backport vc-git.el. -- cgit v1.2.3
