A while ago, I converted the old Vim CVS Repository to git and I made it available here: https://bitbucket.org/vim-mirror/vim-ancient #v+ ~/vim-ancient$ git log --reverse |head -15 commit 686757e4d2a46c8ab55c08c7a0ccd9d83d2465fb Author: Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]> Date: Sun Dec 19 03:43:45 1999 +0000 Initial revision commit d8a836d4df71284a494011056263b98972ae6823 Author: Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]> Date: Sun Dec 19 03:50:09 1999 +0000 Patch 5.5.001 Problem: Configure in the top directory did not pass on an argument with a space correctly. For example "./configure --previs="/My home". (Stephane Chazelas) Solution: Use '"$@"' instead of '$*' to pass on the arguments. #v- Best, Christian -- Es gibt zwei Arten von Menschen: Solche die Glück haben und solche wie mich. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
