Vim 7.2 provides a better alternative. If the command is specifically
'git' then setting the filetype to 'git' also provides the correct
syntax highlighting.
For example,
if v:version >= 702
if stridx(a:cmdline, "git") == 0
setlocal filetype=git
endif
endif
Syntax highlighting is displayed correctly for several commands including:
:Git diff
:Git show
:Git log
And possibly others. If Vim (7.2) is your default editor when
performing a "git commit" then there is also a new built in Vim
command -
:DiffGitCached
This opens a preview window with the contents of "git diff --cached".
The :DiffGitCached command is only available when filetype=gitcommit.
Perhaps some of these ideas should be added to the Vim wiki...
