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

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

  31
  32 <p>
  33         Authors of such features are encouraged to develop directly on this
  34         repository and push access would gladly be granted. That way more
  35         attention will be paid to their features, which will lead to more
  36         testers and bug reports to get it stable. This will raise the
  37         possibility to get it into the official Vim or at least helps the
  38         feature to not get lost as a patch in the mailing list archives.

  42         <strong>NOTE</strong>: This repository is based on
  43         <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_mainline.git">vim_mainline.git</a>,
  44         which was originally based on Vim's subversion repository with git-svn,
  45         but now uses the official patches for updating.
  46         <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">For the sake of cleanness
  47         vim_mainline.git and hence vim_extended.git will definitely
  48         be <strong>completely rewritten</strong> some time.</span>
  49         Because Vim, including the latest runtime files, is officially
  50         available via a Mercurial repository since the beginning of 2010,
  51         vim_mainline.git will be discontinued in the near future.
  52         The future (if any) of vim_extended in this or another form is not certain yet.
  53         Please keep this
  54         in mind when using this repository as base for your work.
