It'd be perfect if the signs changed in real-time without the need to save first. Awesome work though. Thanks Andy.
Taglist does something similar, and it uses ':h updatetime' to toggle how often it works.

Re: Vim Git Gutter
#72I honestly like vim fugitive because of it's awesome power. I just type ,gd to see a diff in a split. I probably don't want to scan the gutter for files i've changed, and fugitive diff folds all non-changed lines also, who the hell sets their font size that small? (screenshot in the readme). that's a sociopathically small font size. I will never trust you airblade. never.
I use both. If I need a full diff, fugitive is great. Sometimes I just want to scan to see what lines I changed in a a file. In other words, it is impractical to use this plugin to find out what _files_ you've changed. It is great for finding out what lines in whatever file you've opened have changed.

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have 5 separate computers that I run vim on. Manually installing and updating is a huge pain. I keep my .vimrc in git to keep them all synchronized.
I use Vundle to take this a step further https://github.com/gmarik/vundle
Fantastic plugin.
:BundleUpdate when you've got 20 plugins homes across Github and vim.org is a huge timesaver.

#74vim-patchreview is a bit different, but also of interest: https://github.com/vim-scripts/patchreview.vim
I find it really useful in particular for working with Mercurial patch queues. I have a command in my .vimrc that will run ReversePatchReview on the topmost patch in my patch queue. It pops up a diff tab for each file that has changed. I can easily use "[c" and "]c" to jump between changes within each file.
This setup makes it incredibly easy to review the changes a patch makes, and it's so convenient that I often write quite a bit of my code inside these diff views. I don't think I could live without vim-patchreview when working with Mercurial.
Re: Vim Git Gutter
#75I honestly prefer vim fugitive's diff function, as it splits with highlighted lines.
Sure, but there's a difference between some nice lil gutter glyphs in the background and a deliberate ':Gdiff' command.
In other words, why not both?
Re: Vim Git Gutter
#76This is really nice, but I wish the background color of the gutter would automatically match the rest of my background. The gray band [1] is pretty unappealing IMO. Also noteworthy is that that the gutter only updates when the file is saved. [1] Screenshot: http://imgur.com/TIGKVRS
You can achieve that manually with `highlight clear SignColumn` in your colour scheme or ~/.vimrc. I'll (I'm the author) probably make this the default because it seems quite a common wish.
None of the suggestions work for me. Plugin called via Pathogen - could this be an issue?

fugitive split diff shows you what lines you've changed. stop using both.
Re: Vim Git Gutter
#79I would love something like this for TextMate 2.
Re: Vim Git Gutter
#80Ugh, someone submitted the original Sublime version to hackers news 2 months go http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5027308 and it got no love.
It just makes sense that someone would port it and become the #1 story.
