Before reporting a bug, you should try stripping down your Vim configuration
|
||
|
and removing other plugins. The sad truth about VimScript is that it is
|
||
|
fraught with incompatibilities waiting to happen. I'm happy to work around
|
||
|
them where I can, but it's up to you to isolate the conflict.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If your [commit message sucks](http://stopwritingramblingcommitmessages.com/),
|
||
|
I'm not going to accept your pull request. I've explained very politely
|
||
|
dozens of times that
|
||
|
[my general guidelines](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html)
|
||
|
are absolute rules on my own repositories, so I may lack the energy to explain
|
||
|
it to you yet another time. And please, if I ask you to change something,
|
||
|
`git commit --amend`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Beyond that, don't be shy about asking before patching. What takes you hours
|
||
|
might take me minutes simply because I have both domain knowledge and a
|
||
|
perverse knowledge of VimScript so vast that many would consider it a symptom
|
||
|
of mental illness. On the flip side, some ideas I'll reject no matter how
|
||
|
good the implementation is. "Send a patch" is an edge case answer in my book.
