Gitsigns debug messages

[lewis6991]

You need to be using the latest version of Gitsigns if you are running Neovim dev builds

[Deluxo]

So now this is happening, but now it's not dev build anymore.

[lewis6991]

Are you using the latest version of Gitsigns?

[sahibalejandro]

I can confirm this is happening even when using tag = "release" in my packer config, using neovim 8.

[lewis6991]

I think the release tag still points to 0.4, I forgot to update when I released 0.5. In the meantime you can just use the main branch.

[sahibalejandro]

Removing tag = release and running PackerSync worked. I'll wait for release tag get correctly tagged.

Thanks 👍🏼

@sahibalejandro but today still i get the same issue

[sahibalejandro]

@sahibalejandro but today still i get the same issue

@kamalkech try to first remove the package and add it again.

[kamalkech]

@sahibalejandro i downground neovim to 0.7.2 because i found a looooot of issues with different plugins, and mostly not response asap to fix all that, so i save my time to downground
