vim-plug downloads old commit of distinguished.vim from Lokaltog/vim-distinguished repo

[kazarmy]

On my computer, the latest vim-plug (commit 69d6c9d) downloads an old commit of colors/distinguished.vim from the Lokaltog/vim-distinguished repo when it should be downloading the latest commit. Apparently, the commit downloaded is Lokaltog/vim-distinguished@395d32b (I say "apparently" because I have not checked whether there is a later commit that results in an identical distinguished.vim). There were no previous downloads of the plugin.

I'm using gVim 7.4.11 from the Cream project on Windows 8.1. The installed version of git is 2.4.0.windows.2.

I have only the following in my vimrc:

call plug#begin('~/vimfiles/bundle')
Plug 'Lokaltog/vim-distinguished'
call plug#end()

Apart from vim-plug, no other customizations have been made to gVim.

Plug 'Lokaltog/vim-distinguished', { 'branch': 'develop' }

Fyi, Vundle has different behavior in this case.

Thanks for the answer! :)

Vundle does not support branches and only picks up the default one. vim-plug, on the other hand, allows you to choose any branch and verifies if the right branch is being used. So it can be confusing if the default branch can change over time, so it defaults to master when not specified.

Thanks for the info. I think it's best if it was also stated in the FAQ.

Thanks. Will see if there's a better way to address the default branch issue.
