Thanks so much for doing this. Those of us living in 2010 and using version control love you. I added an issue on GitHub about forking, which I know you've seen. It's not an easy problem but I think it would be a nice sign of respect to script authors to fork their repos instead of just mirroring flat files. That introduces another interesting question. The mirroring of flat files has a nice side effect: you only get updates when a maintainer manually uploads a new version. Forking would mean that updates give you the bleeding-edge version, which might not be what you want. I'm not sure what to do in this case. If I wrote a small script to make/update a BitBucket mirror of each of the packages for us Mercurial users (using hg-git), would you be interested? If not, I might just write/maintain it myself. :) > My intent is to make them easy to use with Pathogen -- just clone into > ~/.vim/bundles and everything just works. > > Right now I'm updating the mirror once a day.
