Hi everybody,

The syntax highlight file shipped with gvim runtime lacks support for complex output of Git log command.  For example, the short version of Hash Value cannot be recognized, and "--graph" output cannot be handle at all.  Does anybody have a better solution?

I'm using git-vim and fugitive, the most popular git plugins avaliable now, however they are far from satisfaction.

Thanks very much

Regards,
Xell

I think you choose a wrong tool. There are other specialised tools for
viewing git log.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the recommendation.  However it seems the tig is not intend to be integrated with vim but an independent GUI frontend.  My routine is controlling Git within vim and in most cases vim never lets me down.  Now I just want to have some better syntax highlights for git log (with "--graph", "--stat", etc.) to color the output easily.

Any good ideals?

Regards,
Xell

for git.
