Mostly it doesn't matter much, especially for small changes like this one. For larger changes it's better to diff against the runtime files on the ftp site. These are more recent, since I don't send out patches for runtime files (except when it's related to source code changes). See http://www.vim.org/runtime.php -- [clop clop] GUARD #1: Halt!
