bug#27552: 25.2.50; Indentation problem in rnc-mode

[Stefan Monnier via "Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors" <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

> $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/elpaa

`elpa.git` is fairly large, you don't want to clone all of it just for
`rnc-mode`.  Try something like:

    git clone --single-branch git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/elpa
    cd elpa
    make    # Initial setup, only needed once.
    make packages/rnc-mode # Fetches rnc-mode and sets it up.
    make packages/rnc-mode # Generate autoloads, <foo>-pkg,el, and compile.

If you do want to clone it all, then I think you'll need

    [fetch "fsck"]
            zeroPaddedFilemode = warn

in your `~/.gitconfig` because we were unlucky to have some entries in
our Git history (generated by some earlier version of Git) which Git
later decided should use a different format.  IIRC we had that in our
old `master` branch which should be gone now, but since then we
inherited some other occurrence of the problem from the history of
some package.

I bumped the version so a new 0.3 should appear soonish, tho.
