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.
