+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://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/git.vim
+ http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitcommit.vim
+ http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitconfig.vim
+ http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitrebase.vim
+ http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/gitsendemail.vim
+
+These files are also available via FTP at the same location.
+
+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
