The files in this directory contain source code changes to fix
problems in unstable versions of Vim. Each file also contains an
explanation of the problem that is fixed, like the message that
was sent to the vim-dev maillist.
The best is to apply the patches in sequence. This avoids problems
when a patch depends on a previous patch. If you did not unpack the
extra archive, you may want to skip patches marked with "extra:".
Similarly for the "lang" archive.
Before patching, change to the top Vim directory, where the "src"
and "runtime" directories are located.
Depending on the version of "patch" that you use, you may have add
an argument to make it patch the right file:
patch -p < 6.3a.001
patch -p0 < 6.3a.001
After applying a patch, you need to compile Vim. There are no
patches for binaries.
