This looks like Vim did not recognize the diff output. Since Patch 8.1.360 it comes with the xdiff library and should be able to parse context diffs (as well as the old ed style diffs). However from the error message it looks like Vim does not recognize the diff returned by the internal diff. Not sure what happened here. A workaround is to use the old external diff `:set diffopt-=internal` Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian -- Nationen, die man unterworfen hat, muß man entweder glücklich machen oder vernichten. -- Niccolò Machiavelli -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
