I don't know about subversion; but if you use subversion, with .svn directories _below_ the Vim runtime directory in (let's say) ~/build/vim/vim72a/runtime/ (this is in the directory tree "for building Vim" not the directory tree where Vim runs after installation, where there is no "runtime" subfolder), then why didn't you update your runtimes using subversion rather than rsync? The above works perfectly for someone like me, who gets his sources and patches by ftp. It is supposed to make the .../vim72a/runtime folder and everything below it an exact copy of Bram's master runtime files (with the exception of runtime/dos/). If I need to avoid trashing some particular files (maybe because they were just patched -- runtimes are rarely included in the official patches, but sometimes they are -- and the new version hasn't made it to the rsync repository), then I save a copy somewhere above that runtime folder, and restore it afterwards. Best regards, Tony. -- I don't believe there really IS a GAS SHORTAGE..
