This is the canonical version, and I guess in theory I'm still taking care of it. However, the need that git.el was originally addressing is now fulfilled by better tools. As such, I feel that it has outlived its usefulness, and I'm no longer actively developing it. I'd recommend that anybody still using it switch to Magit, which is being actively maintained, and IMO superior to git.el in all respects. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org
