So I did another small merge request:

https://gitorious.org/evil/evil/merge_requests/2

Added in commit 2a38757.

It adds mappings to what-cursor-position for ga and g8. These commands are different in Vim, and perhaps g8 should run what-cursor-position with a numeric argument. What do you think?

The non-prefixed version of `what-cursor-position' provides both the decimal value and the hexadecimal value, so it works equally well for "ga" and "g8". If one needs more information, it's easy to prefix the command by typing "1ga" or some such.

I don’t really know what to think of merge requests. It doesn’t feel like they’re a lot easier to do than using format-patch. And you don’t easily get the same discussion around them that you would on the mailing list.

Then do what you prefer. :) Discussion is useful when the changes are non-trivial, but small additions such as this one are always accepted without further ado. -- Vegard
