Though currently there is no difference between the SVN and HTTP/FTP version of the git syntax files.

So their version control _doesn't_ have the latest version, but it is available on the website? It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't think I want to know the version control workflow that leads to that. > - http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/trunk/runtime/syntax/gitsendemail.vim > + http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/syntax/git.vim Certainly they are nicer looking URLs, and I had just assumed the originals would be recent-ish version.

Vim is essentially just a one-man project and the maintainer doesn't use version control system. He just piles "diff -c" -type patches on top of the previous release and sends them to vim-dev mailing list and to some FTP site. Then other people try to maintain VCS repositories based on the patches and resources that are available. Vim's bus factor: 1 ``` ## Jeff King, 2009-01-13 07:56 Subject: Re: [PATCH] contrib/vim: change URL to point to the latest syntax files Message-ID: <20090113075607.GA15941@coredump.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090113075607.GA15941%40coredump.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: <8763kjej3p.fsf@iki.fi> ``` On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 09:54:50AM +0200, Teemu Likonen wrote: > Vim is essentially just a one-man project and the maintainer doesn't use > version control system.

He should use git. ;) Thanks for the explanation. -Peff ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2009-01-13 08:06 Subject: Re: [PATCH] contrib/vim: change URL to point to the latest syntax files Message-ID: <7v63kjeikh.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v63kjeikh.fsf%40gitster.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <20090113071623.GB12631@coredump.intra.peff.net> ``` Thanks, both. ```
