proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> X-Thanks: Alec Warner <antarus@gentoo.org> - did the GSoC 2006 migration tests X-Thanks: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> - infra guy, herding this project X-Thanks: Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy <pclouds@gentoo.org> - Former Gentoo developer, wrote Git features for the migration X-Thanks: Brian Harring <ferringb@gentoo.org> - wrote much python to improve cvs2svn X-Thanks: Rich Freeman <rich0@gentoo.org> - validation scripts X-Thanks: Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> - Gentoo dev, running new 2014 work in migration X-Thanks: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> - scripts, QA, nagging X-Thanks: All of other Gentoo developers - many ideas and lots of paint on the bikeshed

+<longdescription lang="en">
+ Emacs has a powerful undo system. Unlike the standard undo/redo system in
+ most software, it allows you to recover *any* past state of a buffer
+ (whereas the standard undo/redo system can lose past states as soon as you
+ redo). However, this power comes at a price: many people find Emacs' undo
+ system confusing and difficult to use, spawning a number of packages that
+ replace it with the less powerful but more intuitive undo/redo system.
+
+ Both the loss of data with standard undo/redo, and the confusion of Emacs'
+ undo, stem from trying to treat undo history as a linear sequence of
+ changes. It's not. The `undo-tree-mode' provided by this package replaces
+ Emacs' undo system with a system that treats undo history as what it is: a
+ branching tree of changes. This simple idea allows the more intuitive
+ behaviour of the standard undo/redo system to be combined with the power of
+ never losing any history. An added side bonus is that undo history can in
+ some cases be stored more efficiently, allowing more changes to accumulate
+ before Emacs starts discarding history.
+
+ The only downside to this more advanced yet simpler undo system is that it
+ was inspired by Vim. But, after all, most successful religions steal the
+ best ideas from their competitors!
