Vim Patches for Neovim

vim_patches.md

This is an incomplete list of Vim 8.x patches that are applicable to Neovim. This file attempts to organize the patches by feature to make it easier to batch them as one vim-patch PR. Some patches are left out because this should complement Neovim's Vim Patch Report. Note that some sections are left unresolved because of 1incompatible implementations (ie. jobstart(), :terminal, clipboard) or features (ie. +balloon_eval). See nvim's :h vim-differences for more info.

Refer to a version.c PR like neovim/neovim#8474 for an up-to-date list of merged 8.0.x patches.
