Re: Problem with Integrated Vim Editor on Win 10
From: "Zachary Turner" I dug into this some more, and as surprising as it is, I believe the release of Git 2.8.0 is just busted. I had an installer for 2.7.0 lying around, so after uninstalling 2.8.0 and re-installing 2.7.0, everything works fine. I'm not terribly active in the Git community so I don't know what the procedure is for things like this, but this seems like a fairly serious regression. Suggestions on how to proceed? see https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/711#issuecomment-204003950 "Indeed, the culprit is git-for-windows/msys2-runtime@7346568 and reverting it fixes the issue. Will continue tomorrow." @dscho On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 5:07 PM, Zachary Turner wrote: Hi, just recently I installed the latest build of Windows 10 of my machine. This is my second Win10 machine.

I'm pretty sure that this was introduced in version 2.8.0 for Windows. Before upgrading, I used the latest 2.7 version and it worked as expected.

Not before, but I can confirm this issue on Win10, and reportedly on Win7 as well. Actually I thought this was a Git for Windows specific issue, so I reported it on GitHub; it didn't occur to me that it could be a VIM issue. So I guess you have already diagnosed this better than I did... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Problem with Integrated Vim Editor on Win 10
Hi, just recently I installed the latest build of Windows 10 of my machine. This is my second Win10 machine. On the other I am using git 2.7.0.windows.1 and everything is working just fine.
