Description of problem:
The version of gVim shipped indicates numerous omitted patches:

  VIM - Vi IMproved 6.1 (2002 Mar 24, compiled Feb 12 2003 07:37:31)
  Included patches: 1, 3-15, 17-18, 20-22, 24-34, 36-43, 45-49, 51-72,
    74-75, 77-83, 85-87, 89-92, 94-99, 101-118, 120-146, 150, 152-153,
    157-183, 185-189, 191-195, 197, 200-201, 203-227, 231-239,
    241-242, 244-252, 254-258, 260-289, 293-295, 297-299, 301-302,
    305-310, 312-320 
  Compiled by <bugzilla>

The second line should read:

  Included patches: 1-320

Perhaps someone has taken the time to figure out the applicable
patches for Red Hat and has intentionally removed the others, but
there's no harm in letting them in, especially when it communicates to
the Vim user that it is complete. (The first one looks like what we
usually get on the list when someone who doesn't know what they're
doing tries to roll their own. ;)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vim-X11-6.1.320 (close, not sure, I overwrote it)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
:version

Comment 1 Karsten Hopp 2003-05-10 15:31:32 UTC
Bram Moolenaar marks some of his patches as 'extra', i.e. when they are only for 
VMS or Win32. Those patches haven't been applied as they only patch files which
are unused on Linux or add p.e. #ifdev WIN32  ... code  ... #endif.
Check out the README.patches in our rpm and compare the list.
