You can use git archive from github, but this is a fallback option only in case git, mercurial and bazaar executables are not available or mercurial and bazaar do not have respectively hg-git and bzr-git plugins installed. It is disabled by default, ask MarcWeber why. For details see `:h vam#vcs#GitCheckout`. Note that when you use github archive it will get redownloaded on each :UpdateAddons call. If you do have git why do you prefer zip archive? > That is good to know. I was under the impression VAM always tried to pull in > updates and then run. I didn't know it could act just like Pathogen. I do not remember any time when VAM tried to pull updates without explicit request from the user. Such behavior is neither the default nor available with some option I know about. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
