Thanks -- that's very true. I meant that they are loooong
deprecated, and finally we removed them in this release.
In a perfect world, the release notes would mention the reason for the
removal (e.g. "use git foo-bar instead").
Soon after 1.5.0 was released, I think we said these two were
not used in practice and declared them as deprecated. So there
is no "use this instead".
In a perfect world, nobody would kibitz, but instead everybody
reads, understands and remembers the discussion that led to the
change ;-)
