When updating, list commits which have been pulled in

[airblade]

When a plugin is updated, voom prints something like:

vim-fugitive updated: 7 commits

I would like to be able to display what those commits were:

vim-fugitive updated: 7 commits
  * 8a89354 Minor formatting tweaks.
  * 8777d70 Clarify installation instructions.
  * 5c8aa62 Installation directory defaults to ~/.vim.
  * a39deb5 Add vim-plug to list of alternatives.
  * ec5791c Add note about voom edit.
  * 3ba2e3a Fix shellcheck warnings.
  * ead083f Add edit command.

The problem is that each plugin-update runs in a background process, and their output is interleaved.

The command you are looking for is
git log --oneline master..origin/master
Running that before the pull will give the output you want.

Storing that as a bash string then echoing it might not cause the interleaving?

[airblade]

That's the command I use currently, although I pipe it into wc -l to summarise the output on 1 line.

I seem to remember I tried storing the output as a string and echoing that, but it still interleaved. It was a while ago now so I could be wrong.

Update: I just tried it again and the output is still interleaved.

[Rycieos]

Added a commit that adds this. It uses printf to print the log, so it is not interleaved.

To test this, I ran

for D in ~/.vim/bundle/*/; do
  cd "$D"
  git reset --hard HEAD~3
  cd ..
done

voom update

This produced this output: pastebin.

Note, the svn log output has to be run through awk to be on one line, and it really sucks. See here. Any ideas to make this cleaner would be great.

If this looks good, I can make a pull request.

And if you do an update with subversion instead, it looks like this:

$ voom update
updated DidYouMean: 1 commit(s)
r16 Allow filenames containing spaces

r172 fix SuperTabLongestHighlight to only move the cursor when the completion popup is visible

I have since gotten git on all of my work environments, which means that SVN support is no longer important to me. Since I had to hack voom a ton to get svn to work, I decided to go back and try and solve this issue again, without the clutter of the SVN code in the way. Turns out it was really simple. I will open a pull request with my changes.

My other pull request for SVN support I am no longer supporting. I will leave it open in case there is interest, but I don't care for that feature anymore.
