I agree the time it takes to fetch the number of patches are very anonying. I've perodically asked for an update of the distfiles to include the patches to date. Please join in asking for this of the Vim developers. But I believe vim.org is a very reliable offical distribution source and I do not want to get in the middle of their distribution methods. > P.S. we're now at 7.3.1011 - the port could use a normal update as > well.
