Fix for MacOS issue with diffopts=internal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Stock vim on Catalina (and, apparently, Big Sur) does not support
diffopt=internal even though the default options include internal.
Thus :set diffopt+=vertical is equivalent to
:set diffopt=internal,filler,vertical which is an error because
internal is not supported. One solution is to modify your .vimrc
as follows:

if &diff
    set diffopt-=internal
    set diffopt+=vertical
endif

The issue (and fix) is described on these websites:
