This is in preparation for generating the former automatically
from the latter.
* admin/notes/bugtracker, admin/notes/copyright, admin/notes/newfile:
ChangeLog -> change log
* admin/notes/changelogs: Remove, merging old contents to ...
* admin/notes/repo: ... here.
* doc/emacs/maintaining.texi (Change Log): Mention that ChangeLog files may
be copied to or from a version control system.
* doc/emacs/trouble.texi (Sending Patches): Point to the commit messages.
* doc/lispref/intro.texi (Acknowledgments): ChangeLog file -> change log entries.
* doc/lispref/tips.texi (Library Headers): Emacs uses a version control system.
* etc/CONTRIBUTE: Give advice about git commit messages and how
to generate proposed patches containing them.
All bzr revision IDS, and all CVS revision IDs for which a commit
could be identified, were changed to time-date!committer version
stamps. All .cvsignore files in the history became .gitignore files.
Fixes-bug annotations from bzr were copied into the corresponding
commit comments.
(The first .cvsignore commit was 1999-09-30T14:07:54Z!fx@gnu.org>.
The last CVS commit was <2009-12-27T08:11:12Z!cyd@stupidchicken.com>)
Committer/author email addresses are generally correct for the
transition day, not necessarily when the commit was originally made.
src/Makefile.in (repo-update): Fix a typo and slightly reword
commentary.
admin/notes/repo (Notes): Reword the stylistic guidance for commit log
messages so that they are in line with Emacs development practices
and style guidance.
admin/notes/bzr: Renamed to notes/repo, reorganixed to separate
VCS-dependent from VCS-independent stuff. Added guidance about
commit-comment format under DVCSes.
admin/notes/BRANCH: Merged into notes/repo.
lisp/version.el: Fix some fallback values to conform to the actual
release number.
admin: Changes in several documents.
autogen.sh: Neutralize language specific to a repository type.
doc/misc/efaq-w32.texi: Neutralized language specific to a repository type.
doc/misc/gnus-coding.txt: Neutralized language specific to a repository type.
lisp/Makefile.in: Change some production names so they're neutral
about the repository type.
RCS -> CVS -> Bzr -> Git. And (as Stefan Monnier reports) "GNU Arch
was semi-officially used for a while between CVS and Bzr, tho not for
the main branch."
* admin/CPP-DEFINES (HAVE_CLOSEDIR, HAVE_DIRENT_H): Remove.
* admin/notes/copyright: Adjust to src/ndir.h -> nt/inc/dirent.h renaming.
* configure.ac: Do not check for dirent.h or closdir.
* nt/inc/dirent.h: Rename from ../src/ndir.h, with these changes:
(struct dirent): Rename from struct direct. All uses changed.
* nt/inc/sys/dir.h: Remove.
* src/dired.c: Assume HAVE_DIRENT_H.
(NAMLEN): Remove, replacing with ...
(dirent_namelen): New function. All uses changed. Use the GNU macro
_D_EXACT_NAMELEN if available, as it's faster than strlen.
(DIRENTRY): Remove, replacing all uses with 'struct dirent'.
(DIRENTRY_NONEMPTY): Remove. All callers now assume it's nonzero.
* src/makefile.w32-in (DIR_H): Remove. All uses replaced with
$(NT_INC)/dirent.h.
($(BLD)/w32.$(O)): Do not depend on $(SRC)/ndir.h.
* src/ndir.h: Rename to ../nt/inc/dirent.h.
* src/sysdep.h (closedir) [!HAVE_CLOSEDIR]: Remove.
Do not include <dirent.h>; no longer needed.
* src/w32.c: Include <dirent.h> rather than "ndir.h".
