[Emacs-diffs] master 1e5539e: Avoid delving into Git internals for version

[Paul Eggert]

branch: master
commit 1e5539e0b35d2a7fcd1f1772c4532430cb18471b
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Commit: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

    Avoid delving into Git internals for version
    
    * lisp/loadup.el (exec-path): Set it to nil later, so that
    emacs-repository-get-version can invoke git commands in the PATH.
    * lisp/version.el (emacs-repository--version-git-1): Remove.
    (emacs-repository-get-version): Let Git do it rather than
    delving into Git internals.
