The Vim Mercurial repository
Vim is now also available through Mercurial.
This usually works better than
CVS
and
Subversion.
You can obtain Vim for the first time with:
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
And update to the latest version with:
hg pull
hg update
If you don't know how to use Mercurial, you'll probably want to look at the
Guide.
Browsing the Vim sources
You can browse the Mercurial repository online. This shows the most recent version of the files, including runtime files.
Note that besides the "default" branch there are others.
The "vim73" branch was for 7.3 test versions. You probably want to switch to
the "default" branch to get 7.3.001 and later, like this:
hg update default
The "vim72" branch is for the older 7.2.xxx versions. No further changes are
expected here.
If you have local changes you may need to merge.
If you are sure you can discard local changes (e.g. if you were just trying a
patch),you can use:
hg update -C
