Jakub Narebski b52ba1a5d6 git-blame: Add Emacs Lisp file headers and GNU GPL boilerplate
Add Emacs Lisp file headers, according to "Coding Conventions" chapter
in Emacs Lisp Reference Manual and Elisp Area Convetions for
EmacsWiki:
  http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ElispAreaConventions
Those include: copyright notice, GNU GPL boilerplate, description and
instalation instructions as provided in email and in commit message
introducing git-blame.el, compatibility notes from another email by
David Kågedal about what to change to use it in GNU Emacs 20, and
"git-blame ends here" to detect if file was truncated.  First line
includes setting file encoding via first line local variable values
(file variables).

Added comment to "(require 'cl)" to note why it is needed; "Coding
Conventions" advises to avoid require the `cl' package of Common Lisp
extensions at run time.

Contributed Software

Although these pieces are available as part of the official git
source tree, they are in somewhat different status.  The
intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe
even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them,
and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved
faster.

I am not expecting to touch these myself that much.  As far as
my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are
owned by their respective primary authors.  I am willing to help
if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners"
have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to
fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree
owners.  IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for
enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so
just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch.  If
you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be
first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author
should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer).
This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a
lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the
drill.

I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area
to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming
projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory.  On
the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused
and inactive ones from time to time.

If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose
it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves
there are some general interests (it does not have to be a
list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow
audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose
upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is
of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN
repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport),
submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your
stuff there.
