fixup! CONTRIBUTING.md: add guide for first-time contributors
Let's not recommend the `vs/master` branch anymore (which we stopped
updating), but instead recommend the much better CMake-based way to
build Git in Visual Studio.

If you prefer working in Visual Studio with a solution full of projects, then there is a
84
-
branch in Git for Windows called [`vs/master`](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/branches).
85
-
This branch is kept up-to-date with the `master` branch, except it has one more commit that
86
-
contains the solution and project files. Read [the wiki page on this approach](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Compiling-Git-with-Visual-Studio) for more information.

I want to make a small warning before you start working on the `vs/master` branch. If you
89
-
create a new topic branch based on `vs/master`, you will need to rebase onto `master` before
90
-
you can submit a pull request. The commit at the tip of `vs/master` is not intended to ever
91
-
become part of the `master` branch. If you created a branch, `myTopic` based on `vs/master`,
92
-
then use the following rebase command to move it onto the `master` branch:
93
-
94
-
```
95
-
git rebase --onto master vs/master myTopic

If you prefer working in Visual Studio with a solution full of projects, then you can use

CMake, either by letting Visual Studio configure it automatically (simply open Git's

top-level directory via `File>Open>Folder...`) or by (downloading and) running
