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.
