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.

Fugitive is particularly prone to regressions due to Git version issues,
|
|
|
|
|
platform issues, and interactions with other plugins. I end up bisecting a
|
|
|
|
|
lot more than other projects, and thus I'm especially meticulous here about
|
|
|
|
|
maintaining a clean, readable, history. Squash and force push any requested
|
|
|
|
|
changes to a pull request. And if your [commit message
|
|
|
|
|
sucks](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html),
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not going to accept it. Period.

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.
