commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/169ebb080454357279ad5ad21ac532deaec605e8 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Wed Sep 7 23:32:23 2016 +0200 patch 7.4.2344 Problem: The "Reading from channel output..." message can be unwanted. Appending to a buffer leaves an empty first line behind. Solution: Add the "out_msg" and "err_msg" options. Writing the first line overwrites the first, empty line.
