patch 8.0.0639: the cursor position is set when editing a new commit message commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/9a48961d8bd7ffea14330b9b0181a6cdbe9288f7 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Tue Jun 13 16:12:51 2017 +0200 patch 8.0.0639: the cursor position is set when editing a new commit message Problem: The cursor position is set to the last position in a new commit message. Solution: Don't set the position if the filetype matches "commit". (Christian Brabandt)

/*
 * An extremely simple program to make the cursor blink in an xterm.
 * This is useful when the cursor is hard to spot in a highlighted file.
 * Start in the background: "blink&"  Stop by killing it.
 * Bram Moolenaar  980109  (based on an idea from John Lange).
