Hi,
I'm using 'patchmode=.orig' in my ~/.vimrc,
when I edit a new file such as xxx that does
not exist, then save that file, I also get a
0-byte file called xxx.orig. This 0-byte
file seems rather pointless.
To recreate,
vim -u NONE xxx
:set patchmode=.orig
iHello World<Esc>
:wq
then 'ls -l' and it shows,
-rw-r--r-- 1 davidt core 12 Nov 14 22:47 xxx
-rw-r--r-- 1 davidt core 0 Nov 14 22:47 xxx.orig
I don't understand why vim cannot avoid creation of
the 0-byte xxx.orig upon first creation of xxx.
IMHO, this is a bug. Anyone agree?
My 'vim --version' output is,
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled Oct 24 2006 17:24:02)
Included patches: 1-4, 6-26, 29-31, 33-44, 46-56, 58-64, 66-73, 75-91

Regards,
David
