On Mercurial I would run "hg incoming" and it would tell me what, if anything, would be added to my repository if I pulled. Not wanting to run "git pull" every hour to have it tell me "Nothing to do" I thought that "git status" would tell me if there was anything on the remote which I needed to pull. Apparently it doesn't.

All differences between my various shadow builds are defined by means of environment variables (set differently in one shell per shadow directory), which require no changes to the Vim distribution. > > Thanks, > Christian > Best regards, Tony. > -- > It'll be a nice world if they ever get it finished. > :-D -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
