BREAKING CHANGE: This removes git-gutter as an implementation for the
`:ui vc-gutter` module, leaving only the diff-hl implementation. There
are no longer any +git-gutter or +diff-hl flags for this module. Users
don't have to do anything to keep the vc gutter, unless they prefer
git-gutter for any reason (in which case they'll need to install and set
it up themselves).
This has been planned for some time, because of a roadmap goal for Doom
to lean into native/built-in functionality where it's equal or better
than the third party alternatives. diff-hl relies on the built-in vc.el
library instead of talking to git directly (thus expanding support to
whatever VCS's vc.el supports, and not git alone), which also means it
can take advantage of its caching and other user configuration for
vc.el. Overall, it is faster and lighter.
What I've also been waiting for was a stage-hunk command, similar to
git-gutter:stage-hunk, which arrived in dgutov/diff-hl@a0560551cd and
dgutov/diff-hl@133538973b, and have evolved since.

This adds an alternative backend to the :ui vc-gutter module, enabled
with the +diff-hl flag. In the future, I intend for diff-hl to replace
git-gutter, as it is slightly faster and depends on more native
functionality (vc.el), but it's still a little buggy. It will remain
opt-in until those issues are sorted out.
BREAKING CHANGE: This changes moves its default configuration of the
fringe behind a +pretty flag. This won't cause breakage, but will cause
a (possibly unwanted) visual change: git-gutter will use its default
indicators (e.g. + and - symbols) instead of the continuous bars from
before.
To get back the old look, enable `+pretty` on the `:ui vc-gutter`
module.
This was done to make the defaults toggleable, to standardize +pretty,
to document issues with this customization that have been brought up by
members of the Emacs community, and to better document it in comments
for posterity.
Fewer links means less confusion.
- Merge doom-issue and doom-commit links into doom-ref (for auto-linking
Issue/PR/commit references).
- Merge doom-module-source and doom-docs-source links into doom-source.
- Rename doom-report-issue to doom-report.
- Use '!' as the icon for module issues link.
- Remove doom-repo (replaced with "doom:*" in :lang org module).
- Add doomdir and emacsdir links to :lang org module.
