vim_extended: add feat/indent-wrap-lines

[vim_extended.git] / readme_vim_extended.htm

<p>
        This is a git repository, which is meant to be an extension to the
        official Vim from <a href="http://www.vim.org/">vim.org</a>. It
        includes various extensions and features that didn't yet get into the
        official version or even won't ever. Most features had been sent as
        patches to the Vim mailing list.

        <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_extended.git?a=blob;f=README_gitrepo.txt;hb=stuff">
        README_gitrepo.txt</a> from the <em>stuff</em> branch
</p>

<p>
        Please note that there is no official support for this from Bram. The
        patches will most likely work and they appear to do so for several
        people. However, you might get unlucky and stuff breaks. At worst, you
        could lose your data. So please be aware of this before going down
        this road.
</p>

<p>
        Authors of such features are encouraged to develop directly on this
        repository and push access would gladly be granted. That way more
        attention will be paid to their features, which will lead to more
        testers and bug reports to get it stable. This will raise the
        possibility to get it into the official Vim or at least helps the
        feature to not get lost as a patch in the mailing list archives.
</p>

<p>
        <strong>NOTE</strong>: This repository is based on
        <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_mainline.git">vim_mainline.git</a>,
        which was originally based on Vim's subversion repository with git-svn,
        but now uses the official patches for updating. For the sake of
        cleanness vim_mainline.git and hence vim_extended.git will definitely
        be <strong>completely rewritten</strong> some time. Please keep this
        in mind when using this repository as base for your work.
