Subject: admin.el: Move etc/NEWS to etc/NEWS.NN in one commit
X-Git-Tag: emacs-29.0.90~3408
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0fb55c8776d75d08da626f84ca5570da7e95391e;p=emacs.git

admin.el: Move etc/NEWS to etc/NEWS.NN in one commit

This should preserve git history better for git blame, etc.
* admin/admin.el (admin-git-command): New variable.
(set-version): Move etc/NEWS to etc/NEWS.NN and prompt to commit
it immediately.  (Bug#52420)
