[darcs-users] ANN: darcs.vim: a vim plugin to work with darcs

[Tomasz Zielonka]

Hello!

Great thing! It's so nice to have word completion and other vim features
when composing patch descriptions.

The plugin seems to have some problems with addfile patches. It shows the
related hunk for confirmation, but it seems to completely ignore addfile,
so the record ends with Fail: <stdin>: hGetChar: end of file. I guess it's
not a bug, but a missing feature.

BTW, it would be nice to have a \dka command, which would 'darcs add' the
currently edited file to darcs.

Best regards,
