From: David Aguilar Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 05:29:36 GMT Subject: [PATCH] git-mergetool--lib: Make vimdiff retain the current directory Message-ID: <1306387776-14593-1-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1306381034-44190-3-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com> When using difftool with vimdiff it can be unexpected that the current directory changes to the root of the project. Tell vim to chdir to the value of $GIT_PREFIX to fix this. Care is taken to quote the variable so that vim expands it. This avoids problems when directory names contain spaces.
