description
Integration of Git for Vim/gVim:
- use Git from within Vim and eliminate the need for context switches
- quickly add the file in the current buffer or show its diff
- the output of commands like "git status" is redirected into buffers
- ... the commit can be manipulated from right there
- show the stash, logs, branches, tags, remotes, ...
- show the Git help in a buffer, or open it in the browser
- each buffer comes with a short help: press <SHIFT+F1>

- comes with a menu, which also serves as an overview of the plug-in's functionality
- custom menu for often used combination of arguments
- configurable syntax highlighting designed to match Git's own highlighting
- automatic folds for diffs and logs

install details
Copy the zip archive git-support.zip to $HOME/.vim/ (Linux/Unix) or
$HOME/vimfiles (Windows) and run:
    unzip git-support.zip

Redo the helptags (Linux/Windows):
    :helptags $HOME/.vim/doc/
    :helptags $HOME\vimfiles\doc\

Windows: Set the correct executable. See git-support/README.gitsupport or:
    :help g:Git_Executable
(the default is "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe")

Consider configuring the syntax highlighting. By default, the syntax highlighting
uses Vim's own syntax categories. See git-support/README.gitsupport or
git-support/rc/additions.vimrc for information on how to configure the syntax
highlighting to look more like Git's output.
