Subject: ; * lisp/vc/vc.el: Drop some old notes
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93e9a3736be6853c0f1c6fac8e9e697eecdff4e4;p=emacs.git

; * lisp/vc/vc.el: Drop some old notes

Firstly, we are unlikely to do any unifying, because both amend
capabilities have been around for a long time now and we don't
want to break people's usage.  Secondly, there is now a plan for
dealing with dangerous git operations described in bug#64055.
