You have the same problem with subversion or am I missing something? Isn't it the case that in SVN, you can checkout (as opposed to clone or pull) a subdirectory on top of an existing directory? That way you could have non-managed files in the directory, and only the managed ones would get updated. With Subversion, you can have unversioned files inside of a versioned directory. When updating to the latest files in the repository, the unversioned files were untouched. I would hope this would be the same with git. Otherwise, this whole idea of keeping my ~/.vim updated to the vim-latex/vimfiles is a moot point.

I would hope this would be the same with git. Otherwise, this whole idea of keeping my ~/.vim updated to the vim-latex/vimfiles is a moot point. In git (as with all DVCS), versioning exists at the project level and not the file level. You could certainly put unmanaged files within a git repository and never add them to the change history, but the first time you do something like 'git reset --hard' (or a similar checkout), the files you added would be in danger of being removed by git. The ideal situation would be to manage your ~/.vim directory in git and then merge a vimfiles repository from vim-latex into your .vim directory. That way you could pull vim-latex updates into your change history and then merge them (git pull provides a way to automate fetching and merging). Unfortunately, with the git repo having a vimfiles /subdirectory/, it is a little more complicated. It's possible that a local changeset on your side that moves everything from /vimfiles/ into the root directory and then gets rid of the web files might do the trick. That is, the merge with your local history should (I think?) re-move and re-delete every time. It's worth a shot (in a test ~/.vim directory), but it would be much easier if the vim-latex git repo looked like a vimfiles directory. --Ted -- Ted Pavlic t...@tedpavlic.com -- What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d ___ Vim-latex-devel mailing list Vim-latex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vim-latex-devel
