What are you saying? That I should never exit a file with the cursor at the end? Or I should not use the documented restore-cursor code? It is a real problem that Vim can mislead the user into thinking there is no difference, when in fact a new line has been inserted at the top of the other window. Just scrolling one window to the top is not enough because unless you gg in *both* windows, you have no idea whether the files are identical or not.
