3 This is an Emacs VC back-end for the [Game of
4 Tree](http://gameoftrees.org/) version control system.

6 ------

8 To start using it make sure that `vc-got` is within your `load-path`
9 and `Got` is in the `vc-handled-backends` list.
10 
11 With `use-package` something like this should be enough:
12 
13 ```emacs-lisp
14 (use-package vc-got
15   :load-path "/path/to/vc-got/"
16   :defer t)
17 ```

19 ## Drawbacks
20 
21 While I've been using this backend on a daily basis for the last
22 months, there are some rough edges.  Fetching updates in particular is
23 one action that *at the moment* is better to do by hand.  Pushing,
24 committing, blaming etc on the other hand are fully functional.
25 
26 Note that pushing requires at least got 0.56, other functionalities
27 should work with older versions.

30 ## Contributing
31 
32 The long-term plan is to get this into Emacs (or ELPA at least).  This
33 means that to avoid possible problems, a GNU copyright assignment is
34 required.  It's really easy to get one (just send an email), and
35 having one will allow you to make further contribution to Emacs itself
36 or to various other packages.
