   2         Vim extended is based on the official Vim from
   3         <a href="http://www.vim.org/">vim.org</a>. It includes various
   4         extensions and features that didn't yet get into the official version
   5         or even won't ever. Most features had been sent as patches to the Vim
   6         mailing list.

  16         <strong>NOTE</strong>: This repository is based on
  17         <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_mainline.git">vim_mainline.git</a>,
  18         which is currently based on Vim's svn access with git-svn, but will be
  19         based on plain tarballs and patches some time. So vim_mainline.git and
  20         hence vim_extended.git will definitely be <strong>rebased</strong>
  21         (better say: <strong>completely rewritten</strong>). So keep this in
  22         mind when using this repository as base for your work.
