Thanks for the link. Now to wire that up to fugitive: http://vimcasts.org/episodes/fugitive-vim-exploring-the-history-of-a-git-repository/ The LLVM project recently switched to git from svn. For quite some time the move was delayed in order to preserve history (including for parked release branches and all kinds of edge cases and things that don't quite translate from svn to git). Now I better appreciate the history preservation. -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers
