contrib: patch review plugin for vim 7.0
The plugin takes an 'hg export'ed patch (in fact any
single or multi file patch) and opens multiple tabs
containing vim diff/merge windows for each affected
file in the patch allowing full visual code reviews.

*patchreview.txt* Vim global plugin for doing single or multipatch code reviews Author: Manpreet Singh (junkblocker-CAT-yahoo-DOG-com) (Replace -CAT- and -DOG- with @ and . first) Copyright (C) 2006 by Manpreet Singh License : This file is placed in the public domain. ============================================================================= CONTENTS *patchreview* *patchreview-contents* 1.

VIM provides the |:diffpatch| command to do single file reviews but can not handle patch files containing multiple patches as is common with software development projects. This plugin provides that missing functionality. It also tries to improve on |:diffpatch|'s behaviour of creating the patched files in the same directory as original file which can lead to project workspace pollution. ============================================================================= PatchReview Options *patchreview-options* g:patchreview_filterdiff : Optional path to filterdiff binary. PatchReview tries to locate filterdiff on system path automatically. If the binary is not on system path, this option tell PatchReview the full path to the binary. This option, if specified, overrides the default filterdiff binary on the path. examples: (On Windows with Cygwin) let g:patchreview_filterdiff = 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\filterdiff.exe' (On *nix systems) let g:patchreview_filterdiff = '/usr/bin/filterdiff' g:patchreview_patch : Optional path to patch binary. PatchReview tries to locate patch on system path automatically. If the binary is not on system path, this option tell PatchReview the full path to the binary. This option, if specified, overrides the default patch binary on the path. examples: (On Windows with Cygwin) let g:patchreview_patch = 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\patch.exe' (On *nix systems) let g:patchreview_patch = '/usr/bin/gpatch' g:patchreview_tmpdir : Optional path where the plugin can save temporary files. If this is not specified, the plugin tries to use TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables in succession. examples: (On Windows) let g:patchreview_tmpdir = 'c:\\tmp' (On *nix systems) let g:patchreview_tmpdir = '~/tmp' ============================================================================= PatchReview Usage *patchreview-usage* *:PatchReview* :PatchReview patchfile_path [optional_source_directory] Perform a patch review in the current directory based on the supplied patchfile_path. If optional_source_directory is specified, patchreview is done on that directory. Othewise, the current directory is assumed to be the source directory. *:PatchReviewCleanup* :PatchReviewCleanup After you are done using the :PatchReview command, you can cleanup the temporary files in the temporary directory using this command. ============================================================================= vim: ft=help:ts=2:sts=2:sw=2:tw=78:tw=78
