Vim is essentially just a one-man project and the maintainer doesn't use
version control system. He just piles "diff -c" -type patches on top of
the previous release and sends them to vim-dev mailing list and to some
FTP site. Then other people try to maintain VCS repositories based on
the patches and resources that are available.
