SZEDER Gábor 1d4c498670 remove vim syntax highlighting in favor of upstream

As of version 7.2, vim ships with its own syntax
highlighting for git commit messages, which is:

  1. more comprehensive in splitting up the various
     components of the file

  2. in accordance with the usual vim behavior for syntax
     highlighting (e.g., respecting b:current_syntax)

  3. presumably better maintained (I have not been using
     what's in git's contrib/ directory for some time in
     favor of the upstream version)

Furthermore, vim upsream also provides syntax highlighting
for other git filetypes (gitconfig, rebase, send-email).

This patch gets rid of our local version and just points
interested parties to the upstream version.

The code for auto-detecting filetypes is taken from vim's
runtime/filetype.vim.

README

Syntax highlighting for git commit messages, config files, etc. is
included with the vim distribution as of vim 7.2, and should work
automatically.

If you have an older version of vim, you can get the latest syntax
files from the vim project:

  http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/trunk/runtime/syntax/git.vim
  http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/trunk/runtime/syntax/gitcommit.vim
  http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/trunk/runtime/syntax/gitconfig.vim
  http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/trunk/runtime/syntax/gitrebase.vim
  http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/trunk/runtime/syntax/gitsendemail.vim

To install:

  1. Copy these files to vim's syntax directory $HOME/.vim/syntax
  2. To auto-detect the editing of various git-related filetypes:
	$ cat >>$HOME/.vim/filetype.vim <<'EOF'
	autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG    setf gitcommit
	autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/config,.gitconfig setf gitconfig
	autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead git-rebase-todo         setf gitrebase
	autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead .msg.[0-9]*
		\ if getline(1) =~ '^From.*# This line is ignored.$' |
		\   setf gitsendemail |
		\ endif
	autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.git/**
		\ if getline(1) =~ '^\x\{40\}\>\|^ref: ' |
		\   setf git |
		\ endif
	EOF
