When the Mercurial repository becomes official and Vim finally has a proper upstream, then vim_mainline.git becomes superfluous and that's good. I will stop updating it then and won't change it to import from the hg repo. > > unless and until that patch is adopted mainstream i'll be > > sticking with git (unless markus stops maintaining it for some > > reason) vim_extended.git is based on vim_mainline so it will not be continued in the same way. One solution would be to use a tool like hg-to-git to import the official repo into a git branch, but I guess a better approach would be to stay close to upstream and use a hg repo for reduced trouble and increased compatibility. I haven't used hg except for pulling and updating by now and I guess I don't like it as much as git, but I think it would be the best solution. > Same here.
