Finally, I drop that sentence, I also think that the link that I put in
contrib/vscode/README is sufficient.

I left everything as they were. I just add the configuration lines directly 
in ToolsForGit.txt because there is not a lot of line. 
But, in the future, if there is more line, it would be better to move all of this 
in the contrib/emacs/README.

I take the summary that you propose, so this not a criterion now.

Yup, I fix this, I add a mention to Documentation/ToolsForGit.txt in CodingGuideline.
I add it at the end of the file.

Thanks for your review,
