feature request , bundle-like version lock ?

[dfang]

locking plugins version is more safe , why ? please see this issue preservim/nerdtree#223

another solution is i fork all the plugins , and in my vimrc , bundle that . but ................

👍

locking version or checking out branches would be a great feature.

So you mean like being able to specify the specific commit at which it should lock on? In other words, make that plugin not update?

[LevelbossMike]

Exactly. 👍

[greduan]

I see, that would be a useful thing, I agree this should be a feature.

+1.
This is the only reason why I'm still using git submodules + pathogen to handle my vim plugins.

Something along the lines of

Bundle 'repository-stuff' 'commit-hash/tag/branch'

For example

Bundle 'gmarik/vundle' '0.9.1'

Which is almost the same as ruby Gemfiles

I don't know enough vim scripting to be able to implement it, but I can give some specifications for the implementation.

The URL scheme would be:

• branch => repo/name/tree/<branch name>
• commit => repo/name/commit/<commit hash>
• tag => repo/name/tree/<tag name>

That would be another way to solve it without a second argument yes, and removing the ambiguity of branches/commits/tags
