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.
