There are several syntax highlighting options available for SCM
blame/annotate outputs (e.g., "CVSAnnotate.vim", "HGAnnotate.vim",
etc.). However, AFAIK, none of them have the ability to use the
annotate-style highlighting on the "left" side of the page (where all of
the SCM info is) and filetype highlighting on the "right" side of the page.
It would be nice if there was some feature that would allow something like:
:set scmtype=git
:set filetype=c
That is, an output of "git blame myfile.c | vim -" would get highlighted
so that the "left" side of the blame output was highlighted matching
"git blame" rules, and the "right" side of the blame output would use
standard highlighting rules for c.
Then left/right autodetection would be the next nice feature... That is,
Vim would have to be able to detect that it's looking at a
blame/annotate-type file and then detect which SCM format to use on the
left and which filetype to use on the right.
I have a feeling that such a feature is non-trivial. That being said, I
think the demand for such a feature is growing.
