[patch] Netrw error when the clipboard feature is disabled

[Ken Takata]

Hi Charles,

I got the following error with netrw v150 when I changed the directory:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>40_NetrwBrowseChgDir..<SNR>40_NetrwOptionRestore:
line 69:
E354: Invalid register name: '*'

It occurs when the clipboard feature is disabled (-clipboard).
Attached patch seems to fix this.

Regards,

Hello!

Thank you for catching this problem, bringing it to my attention, and
providing a patch. Actually, I found a number of places that could use
a has("clipboard") check, although all but the one you found were
silenced. I've attached a "not-released" version of netrw (v151a);
please let me know how it works for you. I've never used a
non-clipboard vim, myself.

Regards,

Sorry, everyone -- please, send me emails concerning plugins that I've
written instead of spamming the list. Sometimes results in my spamming
the list if I don't notice in time that the email was sent to all rather
than to me.

I tested the new version. It works fine.
Thank you!

Okay, I'll do so next time.
