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

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

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