I know I'm coming into this conversation very late, but I noticed this on
the timestamp.vim vim.org page:
NOTE: If you find that on subsequent writes of the file, the second line is
also unchanged, it is probably because the time returned by strftime is NOT
is the format above. [Look closely and see if there is a leading 0 or
timezone missing]. If you are using version 1.11 and higher and still have
this problem, please report it to me. As a temporary fix, you can put the
line >
let timestamp_regexp = '\v\C%(<Last
%([cC]hanged?|[Mm]odified):\s+)@<=.*$'
in your .vimrc. This however has the disadvantage of eating all the text
after the colon in any timestamp line.
If you still have this problem, does this help?
