Yes, I am, though I'm following vim_dev (and the posted patches) more closely, but only re-compiling a fresh Vim every few weeks or so. > Runtime files are now updated quite often in Mercurial.

Call me pedantic, but I'm missing the description of the change plus the actual author of the patch, and I remember seeing multiple, unrelated changes thrown into a single commit. It's not nearly as descriptive as the mailed patches, and (for me) so hard to follow that I don't bother. That's why I said I want them treated the same (and suggested additional committers to lift the effort off of Bram's shoulders). -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
