GNU Emacs 20.7 doesn't support #o, but neither does it include
the ewoc and log-edit libraries required by the current git.el.

It would be nice to have a comment in git.el saying which
versions of Emacs and XEmacs it is supposed to support, but I
guess people wouldn't bother testing those on every commit.

ewoc and log-edit are not part of XEmacs 21.4.20 (the version i am
using), furthermore make-temp-file is not available either, but those
problems, unlike the case/eql/literals issue, can be resolved without
touching git.el (One might argue that case can be fixed with defadvice
or other hackery, but that's a bit too much)

Well it doesn't "support" XEmacs at all.
