contrib: remove vim support instructionsjn/contrib-remove-vim
The git support scripts started shipping in upstream vim in version
7.2 (2008-08-09). Clean up contrib/ a little by removing the
instructions for people on older versions of vim.
RHEL 6 already has vim 7.2.something, so anyone on a reasonably modern
operating system should not be affected. Users on RHEL 5 presumably
know that means sometimes missing out on niceties like syntax
highlighting, so this should be safe.
