[Description Grygoriy I. Fuchedzhy 2009-09-07 22:02:54 UTC]

Hi. git-emacs is very nice git mode for emacs.

Here is quick tour to its features with screenshots. http://tsgates.cafe24.com/git/git-emacs.html

tarball: http://tsgates.cafe24.com/git/git-emacs-1.1.tar.gz
git repo: git clone git://github.com/tsgates/git-emacs.git

Thanks in advance.

Reproducible: Always

The tarball contains a bundled git-blame.el (same author and date but differing from the one that comes with dev-util/git).

Can you test if git-emacs.el also works with the git-blame.el installed by dev-util/git (it should be in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/git/git-blame.el)?

I'm using emacs-22.3-r2 and git-1.6.6.3 on amd64 pc. Yes it works fine for me.

Also remark about git-emacs itself: it uses git-core files like `git-ls-files', so in order to use it `/usr/libexec/git-core/' should be added to PATH env var. But maybe there should be another workaround inside emacs without affecting global PATH var.

 Thanks for your test.

 That is a really bad idea. git-<command> is deprecated for some time now and we won't revive it with that PATH addition.  The fix is to remove the first dash from all git calls.

Can you test attached patch?

It works fine for me.

git-emacs-1.2 committed to Emacs overlay.

A site-init file is still missing, not sure if autoloading will work for this package.

[Comment 8 Ulrich Müller 2009-10-09 16:01:35 UTC]

Both HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI are no longer valid, and I cannot locate new addresses for them.

Feel free to reopen if there's new upstream activity.
