Nope, never heard of such a thing. But I actually never use git except for getting Vim plugins. At one point I could access Hg and git repositories just fine, but not SVN. Then one day I could no longer hg pull. The next week I could no longer use the equivalent git command. I played around with various clients and settings with no success and eventually gave up in favor of manually downloading a zip, because it was easier. I'm not really interested in spending a lot of time getting it working again, especially since I'd have a hard time justifying a "business case" for the time I'd spend on it. And, Pathogen is wonderfully simple, works for most of my needs, and has the flexibility to allow me to get the plugin updates any way I darn well please. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
