I think it would be good to mention them, too, therefore I extended your patch with them. -- >8 -- remove vim syntax highlighting in favor of upstream As of version 7.2, vim ships with its own syntax highlighting for git commit messages, which is: 1. more comprehensive in splitting up the various components of the file 2. in accordance with the usual vim behavior for syntax highlighting (e.g., respecting b:current_syntax) 3. presumably better maintained (I have not been using what's in git's contrib/ directory for some time in favor of the upstream version) Furthermore, vim 7.2 also provides syntax highlighting for other git filetypes (gitconfig, rebase, send-email). This patch gets rid of our local version and just points interested parties to the upstream version. The code for auto-detecting filetypes is taken from vim 7.2's runtime/filetype.vim. --- contrib/vim/README | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- contrib/vim/syntax/gitcommit.vim | 18 ------------------ 2 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 contrib/vim/syntax/gitcommit.vim diff --git a/contrib/vim/README b/contrib/vim/README index 9e7881f..a811675 100644 --- a/contrib/vim/README +++ b/contrib/vim/README @@ -1,8 +1,30 @@ -To syntax highlight git's commit messages, you need to: - 1.
