Re: Extremely simple Vim interface for Git

If you alter the RunShellCommand() function to the following -

      if stridx(a:cmdline, "diff") > 0
          set filetype=diff
      endif

Then Vim will apply diff syntax highlighting to the scratch buffer
when a "diff" command is executed.

Good idea. I implemented the same thing this way:

    if match(a:cmdline,'\v^(git|hg|svn|bzr) diff') >= 0
        setlocal filetype=diff
    endif
