Good tip! I’ve adjusted it for cvs for my $job.

Thanks for this great feature.

Why don’t tried to display it to the left of the line directly in VIM like line number ? With a map to a key that activate or desactivate the feature. I will continue my searches for this !

Cheers !

Hi,
I don’t know if you’ll find this useful, as it works better in a console vim rather than a gvim, but here you are anyway:

function SvnBlameCurrentFile()
  let fileName = expand('%')
  set nonu
  set scrollbind
  set nowrap
  15vnew
  set nu
  "Set filetype so that any special syntax files can be included.
  setf blame
  execute 'read !svn blame '.fileName.' | sed -n -e "s/\s\+\([0-9]\+\)\s\+\(\S\+\).*/\2 (\1)/p"'
  "Delete first line, which is empty.
  1d
  set scrollbind
  set nowrap
  "Switching in and out of the window seems to force an auto-resize.
  wincmd w
  wincmd w
  wincmd w
endf
map gl :call SvnBlameCurrentFile()

This will split the window, and display the blame markup in a small window on the left. If you want the blame file highlighted, defined a syntax file for ‘blame’.

A slightly better version of the above script, that preserves line-numbering, and toggles on and off when called:

""
" Boinks up a blame window for the currently loaded file.
" @return void
""
function SvnBlame_blameCurrentFile()
  let fileName = expand('%')
  if match(fileName, "_svnBlame$") == -1
    let blameBufferName = fileName."_svnBlame"
    let blameBuffer = bufnr(blameBufferName)
    if blameBuffer == -1
      call SvnBlame_openBlameBuffer(fileName, blameBufferName)
    else
      wincmd w
      call SvnBlame_execPreserveNum('bwipeout '.blameBuffer)
    endif
  else
    " We're in a blame buffer, so close it.
    call SvnBlame_execPreserveNum('bwipeout '.fileName)
  endif
endfunction

""

" Execs the given command, preserving numbering

" @param string commandString

" @return void

function SvnBlame_execPreserveNum(commandString)

  if &number == 1

    let numbered = 1

  else

    let numbered = 0

  endif

  exe a:commandString

  if numbered == 1

    set nu

  endif

endfunction
""

" Opens up a blame buffer called blameBufferName for the given fileName

" @param string fileName The filename to blame

" @param string blameBufferName The name to use for the blame buffer

" @return void

function SvnBlame_openBlameBuffer(fileName, blameBufferName)

  set scrollbind

  set nowrap

  call SvnBlame_execPreserveNum("15vnew ".a:blameBufferName)

  " Current window is now the blame buffer

  setlocal buftype=nofile

  setlocal nobuflisted

  setlocal bufhidden=hide

  setlocal noswapfile

  setlocal autoread

  set scrollbind

  set nowrap

  "Set filetype so that any special syntax files can be included.

  setf blame

  execute ‘silent read !svn blame ’.a:fileName.’ | sed -n -e “s/\s\\([0-9]\\)\s\\(\S\\).*/\2 (\1)/p”’

  "Delete first line, which is empty.

  1d

  "Make the buffer non-modifiable.

  setlocal nomodifiable

  "Switching out, in then out of the blame buffer seems to force an auto-resize.

  wincmd w

  wincmd w

  wincmd w

  set nonu

endfunction

map gl :call SvnBlame_blameCurrentFile()
