Running Gitv! gives me a blank preview-window

[abbiekressner]

When I run Gitv! from a file, a blank preview-window opens called "gitv-* [RO]" (where the * is a number like 1, 2, etc). Does anyone have any ideas about why I am not seeing the file history in this window?

I have no idea! :) Things to try/answer:

• Does :Gitv work (without the bang)?
• Are there any error :messages?
• Have you got the latest version of Vim, gitv, fugitive and git?
• Has this ever worked for you?
• Does this work for other files? What about other repos?
• Strip out your .vimrc and all plugins, run with just gitv and fugitive. Does it work now?
• Anything strange happening at all? Any clues would be good. Screenshots are helpful.

Hopefully this can help us zoom in on the issue.

Thanks,

Greg
