CONTRIBUTE cleanups and updates

2016-02-15T03:25:32+00:00

* CONTRIBUTE: Mention URLs and info nodes more consistently,
avoiding possibly-confusing punctuation adjacent to a URL, and
giving full shell commands for 'info'.  Start with a brief but
complete how-to, for people who want to get started right away.
Then briefly discuss how to join the development process in the
typical order.  Omit needless words.  Update some of the
now-obsolete file names, info node names, and quoting styles.
Better document emacs-NN branches and how they are merged.
* admin/notes/git-workflow: Change emacs-24 to emacs-25,
and trunk to master.  This file still needs work.

Recommend enabling integrity-checking in git

2016-02-01T18:46:45+00:00

* admin/notes/git-workflow:  Recommend setting transfer.fsckObjects.

This is related to the autogen.sh changes made by Paul Eggert in
commit d766ca8f (2016-02-01) and commit cedd7cad (2016-02-01), and to
my edits today to http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GitForEmacsDevs and
to emacswiki.org/emacs/GitQuickStartForEmacsDevs.  See also the thread
"Recommend these .gitconfig settings for git integrity." at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-01/threads.html#01802.

Prefer straight quoting in some text files

2015-09-11T18:05:12+00:00

Mostly this just changes ` to ' in static text.  Some exceptions:
* INSTALL.REPO: Use curved quotes, as the diagnostic in question
typically does that now.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (TRY, top level):
Use straight quoting in diagnostics.
* src/README: Fix working-directory confusion.

* CONTRIBUTE: Move send-email here from git-workflow.

Add patch-sending instructions to git-workflow

2015-09-10T09:44:42+00:00

* admin/notes/git-workflow (Sending patches): New section.

admin: Add documentation for gitmerge.el

2014-11-27T22:23:48+00:00

* gitmerge.el: New file.
* notes/git-workflow: Add documentation for using it.

Set the push default to "current", which should work everywhere

2014-11-16T14:54:12+00:00

Mention how to get rid of X11 warnings

2014-11-16T14:31:20+00:00

Use cherry-pick -xe instead of git log amend

2014-11-15T18:25:45+00:00

Add a draft of a very simple git workflow
