Magit warnings #208

Open arichiardi opened 9 years ago

arichiardi commented 9 years ago

The following should be part of a big upgrade disclaimer. Magit changed a lot of things and will probably complain at startup. If you are planning to use Magit be warned that:

Error (magit): Magit requires Git >= 1.9.4, you are using 1.9.1.

If this comes as a surprise to you, because you do actually have a newer version installed, then that probably means that the older version happens to appear earlier on the `$PATH'. If you always start Emacs from a shell, then that can be fixed in the shell's init file. If you start Emacs by clicking on an icon, or using some sort of application launcher, then you probably have to adjust the environment as seen by graphical interface. For X11 something like ~/.xinitrc should work.

If you use Tramp to work inside remote Git repositories, then you have to make sure a suitable Git is used on the remote machines too.

Error (magit): git-commit-mode has to be removed

Magit is no longer compatible with the library git-commit-mode', which was used in earlier releases. Please remove it, so that Magit can use the successorgit-commit' without the obsolete library getting in the way. Then restart Emacs.

Error (magit): git-rebase-mode has to be removed

Magit is no longer compatible with the library git-rebase-mode', which was used in earlier releases. Please remove it, so that Magit can use the successorgit-rebase' without the obsolete library getting in the way. Then restart Emacs.
