Hi all,
I believe commit 0041797449da61f4131bb1673fa5d4c3af48240d ("vimdiff:
new implementation with layout support") broke the ability to detect
diff mode in a .vimrc, because it removed '-d' from the command line
use to invoke vim ('&diff' evaluates to false, because diffmode isn't
enabled until the commands are run, which happens _after_ vimrc is
executed AFAICT). I check &diff in my vimrc to set various settings
specifically when doing a diff/merge.
Just adding '-d' back breaks the layouts unfortunately. I can hack
around this with a heuristic that looks for a mergetool-like
invocation, but ideally there would be a way to set the canonical diff
setting correctly. It may be as simple as adding some extra commands
to close the extra windows opened by adding '-d'.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Andrew
