Heh, not always :) I was pretty busy the last days. > Would you mind me collecting all major vim patches which maybe will > never be merged into mainline? That would be nice. I've always appreciated some help with this, but lost interest in looking at more patches myself. > I'd like to create top-git branches for them I've never used topgit or another tool on top of git. What's the benefit? Why not just ordinary git branches? This would also add another dependency for users, wouldn't it? > maybe pushing them to your repo? Sure. > The vim wiki could be used to explain which branch adds which features > and how stable a branch is. Currently there is a online description for each branch, but further information could go into a wiki page or something to not overload the repo page. I guess you already know about http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/web/vim-patches > The idea is to make patch writers responsible to keep their patches > upstream. That was my initial idea back then, that the patch authors could have some kind of upstream, where they can send their patches to and everybody could find them. > vim-dev list: Do you think it's ok to add a pointer on vim.org download > page telling about this "vim-experimental-maybe-next" wiki page? I have no objections to it. I planned to ask for a link to the vim_mainline/vim_extended repositories. But I planned to do it after the rewrite, which hasn't been done yet and may not be done in the near future. > My goal is that trying out a new feature is as easy as: > git clone ... > git checkout branch > ./configure --enable-... > make It already is as easy. > Of course I don't want to force anyone using git if they prefer bazaar. Or another system or none at all. At least at the gitweb page of vim_extended there are links for downloading raw patch files. But for enjoying the advantages, of course it is the best to just use git with this git repo.
