Hi Christian,

Thanks so much for doing this. I often deal with messy merges, so I
am looking forward seeing the improved diff results. Of course I
haven't had to do any messy ones since I installed your plugin.

I think I've found a bug. When I start vimdiff from the command
line with the option

--cmd 'set diffopt+=iwhite'

then execute

:PatienceDiff
:diffu

I get the error message

EnhancedDiff: git diff not found in path, aborting!

That message is not accurate. The real reason that the call to
s:DiffInit() fails (at line 109 of autoload/EnhancedDiff.vim) is
this:

Vim(call):E121: Undefined variable: g:diffargs

There is only one occurrence of g:diffargs in your plugin, and
that's at line 40 of autoload/EnhancedDiff.vim. I think that
variable is supposed to be s:diffargs. Renaming it fixes the
problem.

I'm using EnhancedDiff.vim version 0.2 and Vim 7.4.640.

Regards,
Gary
