Re: Extremely simple Vim interface for Git

Vim 7.2 provides a better alternative.  If the command is specifically
'git' then setting the filetype to 'git' also provides the correct
syntax highlighting.

Thanks, I didn't know that. Definitely better. I see filetype "git" is 
already in my Vim 7.1.314 (Debian Etch backports).

Perhaps some of these ideas should be added to the Vim wiki...

This Vim tip was originally written by me. I extended it with the 
version control tools.
