191 * Moved to a git repository.
192 * vidir: Applied patch from Stefan Fritsch (one part of #412176):
193 - Check for control characters (especially newlines) in filenames
194 and error out, since this can greatly confuse the editor or vidir.
195 - If the source of a rename does not exist (and thus the rename will fail
196 anyway), vidir should not move an existing target file to a tmpfile.
197 - If a directory is renamed, vidir should take that into account when
198 renaming files in this directory.
199 - If a directory name is passed as name/ to vidir, vidir should not
200 add second slash after the name.
201 * vidir: Add support for unlinking directories. To recursivly delete
202 a directory and its contents, pipe find to vidir, and delete the directory
203 and its contents in the editor. Closes: #412176
204 * Add example to man page about recursive modification of directories.

314 a file. Changed behavior to just print all lines from both files, even
315 if this means printing dups. Not sure I like this behavior either, but
316 it's consistent with the very useful behaviors of "and" and "not".
