vim-patch:9cfdabb: runtime(netrw): change netrw maintainer

Dr. Chip retired some time ago and is no longer maintaining the netrw
plugin. However as a runtime plugin distributed by Vim, it important to
maintain the netrw plugin in the future and fix bugs as they are
reported.

So, split out the netrw plugin as an additional package, however include
some stubs to make sure the plugin is still loaded by default and the
documentation is accessible as well.

closes: vim/vim#16368

+
+General changes made to netrw:
+
+```
+	v172:	Sep 02, 2021	* (Bram Moolenaar) Changed "l:go" to "go"
+				* (Bram Moolenaar) no need for "b" in
+				  netrw-safe guioptions
+		Nov 15, 2021	* removed netrw_localrm and netrw_localrmdir
+				  references
+		Aug 18, 2022	* (Miguel Barro) improving compatibility with
+				  powershell
+	v171:	Oct 09, 2020	* included code in s:NetrwOptionsSafe()
+				  to allow |'bh'| to be set to delete when
+				  rather than hide when g:netrw_fastbrowse
+				  was zero.
+				* Installed |g:netrw_clipboard| setting
+				* Installed option bypass for |'guioptions'|
+				  a/A settings
+				* Changed popup_beval() to |popup_atcursor()|
+				  in netrw#ErrorMsg (lacygoill). Apparently
+				  popup_beval doesn't reliably close the
+				  popup when the mouse is moved.
+				* VimEnter() now using win_execute to examine
+				  buffers for an attempt to open a directory.
+				  Avoids issues with popups/terminal from
+				  command line. (lacygoill)
+		Jun 28, 2021	* (zeertzjq) provided a patch for use of
+				  xmap,xno instead of vmap,vno in
+				  netrwPlugin.vim. Avoids entanglement with
+				  select mode.
+		Jul 14, 2021	* Fixed problem addressed by tst976; opening
+				  a file using tree mode, going up a
+				  directory, and opening a file there was
+				  opening the file in the wrong directory.
+		Jul 28, 2021	* (Ingo Karkat) provided a patch fixing an
+				  E488 error with netrwPlugin.vim
+				  (occurred for vim versions < 8.02)
+	v170:	Mar 11, 2020	* (reported by Reiner Herrmann) netrw+tree
+				  would not hide with the ^\..* pattern
+				  correctly.
+				* (Marcin Szamotulski) NetrwOptionRestore
+				  did not restore options correctly that
+				  had a single quote in the option string.
+		Apr 13, 2020	* implemented error handling via popup
+				  windows (see |popup_beval()|)
+		Apr 30, 2020	* (reported by Manatsu Takahashi) while
+				  using Lexplore, a modified file could
+				  be overwritten.  Sol'n: will not overwrite,
+				  but will emit an |E37| (although one cannot
+				  add an ! to override)
+		Jun 07, 2020	* (reported by Jo Totland) repeatedly invoking
+				  :Lexplore and quitting it left unused
+				  hidden buffers.  Netrw will now set netrw
+				  buffers created by :Lexplore to |'bh'|=wipe.
+	v169:	Dec 20, 2019	* (reported by amkarthik) that netrw's x
+				  (|netrw-x|) would throw an error when
+				  attempting to open a local directory.
+	v168:	Dec 12, 2019	* scp timeout error message not reported,
+				  hopefully now fixed (Shane Xb Qian)
+	v167:	Nov 29, 2019	* netrw does a save&restore on @* and @+.
+				  That causes problems with the clipboard.
+				  Now restores occurs only if @* or @+ have
+				  been changed.
+				* netrw will change @* or @+ less often.
+				  Never if I happen to have caught all the
+				  operations that modify the unnamed
+				  register (which also writes @*).
+				* Modified hiding behavior so that "s"
+				  will not ignore hiding.
+	v166:	Nov 06, 2019	* Removed a space from a nmap for "-"
+				* Numerous debugging statement changes
+	v163:	Dec 05, 2017	* (Cristi Balan) reported that a setting ('sel')
+				  was left changed
+				* (Holger Mitschke) reported a problem with
+				  saving and restoring history.  Fixed.
+				* Hopefully I fixed a nasty bug that caused a
+				  file rename to wipe out a buffer that it
+				  should not have wiped out.
+				* (Holger Mitschke) amended this help file
+				  with additional |g:netrw_special_syntax|
+				  items
+				* Prioritized wget over curl for
+				  g:netrw_http_cmd
+	v162:	Sep 19, 2016	* (haya14busa) pointed out two syntax errors
+				  with a patch; these are now fixed.
+		Oct 26, 2016	* I started using mate-terminal and found that
+				  x and gx (|netrw-x| and |netrw-gx|) were no
+				  longer working.  Fixed (using atril when
+				  $DESKTOP_SESSION is "mate").
+		Nov 04, 2016	* (Martin Vuille) pointed out that @+ was
+				  being restored with keepregstar rather than
+				  keepregplus.
+		Nov 09, 2016	* Broke apart the command from the options,
+				  mostly for Windows.  Introduced new netrw
+				  settings: |g:netrw_localcopycmdopt|
+				  |g:netrw_localcopydircmdopt|
+				  |g:netrw_localmkdiropt|
+				  |g:netrw_localmovecmdopt|
+		Nov 21, 2016	* (mattn) provided a patch for preview; swapped
+				  winwidth() with winheight()
+		Nov 22, 2016	* (glacambre) reported that files containing
+				  spaces weren't being obtained properly via
+				  scp.  Fix: apparently using single quotes
+				  such as with 'file name' wasn't enough; the
+				  spaces inside the quotes also had to be
+				  escaped (ie. 'file\ name').
+				* Also fixed obtain (|netrw-O|) to be able to
+				  obtain files with spaces in their names
+		Dec 20, 2016	* (xc1427) Reported that using "I" (|netrw-I|)
+				  when atop "Hiding" in the banner also caused
+				  the active-banner hiding control to occur
+		Jan 03, 2017	* (Enno Nagel) reported that attempting to
+				  apply netrw to a directory that was without
+				  read permission caused a syntax error.
+		Jan 13, 2017	* (Ingo Karkat) provided a patch which makes
+				  using netrw#Call() better.  Now returns
+				  value of internal routines return, for example.
+		Jan 13, 2017	* (Ingo Karkat) changed netrw#FileUrlRead to
+				  use |:edit| instead of |:read|.  I also
+				  changed the routine name to netrw#FileUrlEdit.
+		Jan 16, 2017	* (Sayem) reported a problem where :Lexplore
+				  could generate a new listing buffer and
+				  window instead of toggling the netrw display.
+				  Unfortunately, the directions for eliciting
+				  the problem weren't complete, so I may or
+				  may not have fixed that issue.
+		Feb 06, 2017	* Implemented cb and cB.  Changed "c" to "cd".
+				  (see |netrw-cb|, |netrw-cB|, and |netrw-cd|)
+		Mar 21, 2017	* previously, netrw would specify (safe) settings
+				  even when the setting was already safe for
+				  netrw.  Netrw now attempts to leave such
+				  already-netrw-safe settings alone.
+				  (affects s:NetrwOptionRestore() and
+				  s:NetrwSafeOptions(); also introduced
+				  s:NetrwRestoreSetting())
+		Jun 26, 2017	* (Christian Brabandt) provided a patch to
+				  allow curl to follow redirects (ie. -L
+				  option)
+		Jun 26, 2017	* (Callum Howard) reported a problem with
+				  :Lexpore not removing the Lexplore window
+				  after a change-directory
+		Aug 30, 2017	* (Ingo Karkat) one cannot switch to the
+				  previously edited file (e.g. with CTRL-^)
+				  after editing a file:// URL.  Patch to
+				  have a "keepalt" included.
+		Oct 17, 2017	* (Adam Faryna) reported that gn (|netrw-gn|)
+				  did not work on directories in the current
+				  tree
+	v157:	Apr 20, 2016	* (Nicola) had set up a "nmap <expr> ..." with
+				  a function that returned a 0 while silently
+				  invoking a shell command.  The shell command
+				  activated a ShellCmdPost event which in turn
+				  called s:LocalBrowseRefresh().  That looks
+				  over all netrw buffers for changes needing
+				  refreshes.  However, inside a |:map-<expr>|,
+				  tab and window changes are disallowed.  Fixed.
+				  (affects netrw's s:LocalBrowseRefresh())
+				* g:netrw_localrmdir not used any more, but
+				  the relevant patch that causes |delete()| to
+				  take over was #1107 (not #1109).
+				* |expand()| is now used on |g:netrw_home|;
+				  consequently, g:netrw_home may now use
+				  environment variables
+				* s:NetrwLeftmouse and s:NetrwCLeftmouse will
+				  return without doing anything if invoked
+				  when inside a non-netrw window
+		Jun 15, 2016	* gx now calls netrw#GX() which returns
+				  the word under the cursor.  The new
+				  wrinkle: if one is in a netrw buffer,
+				  then netrw's s:NetrwGetWord().
+		Jun 22, 2016	* Netrw was executing all its associated
+				  Filetype commands silently; I'm going
+				  to try doing that "noisily" and see if
+				  folks have a problem with that.
+		Aug 12, 2016	* Changed order of tool selection for
+				  handling http://... viewing.
+				  (Nikolay Aleksandrovich Pavlov)
+		Aug 21, 2016	* Included hiding/showing/all for tree
+				  listings
+				* Fixed refresh (^L) for tree listings
+	v156:	Feb 18, 2016	* Changed =~ to =~# where appropriate
+		Feb 23, 2016	* s:ComposePath(base,subdir) now uses
+				  fnameescape() on the base portion
+		Mar 01, 2016	* (gt_macki) reported where :Explore would
+				  make file unlisted. Fixed (tst943)
+		Apr 04, 2016	* (reported by John Little) netrw normally
+				  suppresses browser messages, but sometimes
+				  those "messages" are what is wanted.
+				  See |g:netrw_suppress_gx_mesg|
+		Apr 06, 2016	* (reported by Carlos Pita) deleting a remote
+				  file was giving an error message.  Fixed.
+		Apr 08, 2016	* (Charles Cooper) had a problem with an
+				  undefined b:netrw_curdir.  He also provided
+				  a fix.
+		Apr 20, 2016	* Changed s:NetrwGetBuffer(); now uses
+				  dictionaries.  Also fixed the "No Name"
+				  buffer problem.
+	v155:	Oct 29, 2015	* (Timur Fayzrakhmanov) reported that netrw's
+				  mapping of ctrl-l was not allowing refresh of
+				  other windows when it was done in a netrw
+				  window.
+		Nov 05, 2015	* Improved s:TreeSqueezeDir() to use search()
+				  instead of a loop
+				* NetrwBrowse() will return line to
+				  w:netrw_bannercnt if cursor ended up in
+				  banner
+		Nov 16, 2015	* Added a <Plug>NetrwTreeSqueeze (|netrw-s-cr|)
+		Nov 17, 2015	* Commented out imaps -- perhaps someone can
+				  tell me how they're useful and should be
+				  retained?
+		Nov 20, 2015	* Added |netrw-ma| and |netrw-mA| support
+		Nov 20, 2015	* gx (|netrw-gx|) on a URL downloaded the
+				  file in addition to simply bringing up the
+				  URL in a browser.  Fixed.
+		Nov 23, 2015	* Added |g:netrw_sizestyle| support
+		Nov 27, 2015	* Inserted a lot of <c-u>s into various netrw
+				  maps.
+		Jan 05, 2016	* |netrw-qL| implemented to mark files based
+				  upon |location-list|s; similar to |netrw-qF|.
+		Jan 19, 2016	* using - call delete(directoryname,"d") -
+				  instead of using g:netrw_localrmdir if
+				  v7.4 + patch#1107 is available
+		Jan 28, 2016	* changed to using |winsaveview()| and
+				  |winrestview()|
+		Jan 28, 2016	* s:NetrwTreePath() now does a save and
+				  restore of view
+		Feb 08, 2016	* Fixed a tree-listing problem with remote
+				  directories
+	v154:	Feb 26, 2015	* (Yuri Kanivetsky) reported a situation where
+				  a file was not treated properly as a file
+				  due to g:netrw_keepdir == 1
+		Mar 25, 2015	* (requested by Ben Friz) one may now sort by
+				  extension
+		Mar 28, 2015	* (requested by Matt Brooks) netrw has a lot
+				  of buffer-local mappings; however, some
+				  plugins (such as vim-surround) set up
+				  conflicting mappings that cause vim to wait.
+				  The "<nowait>" modifier has been included
+				  with most of netrw's mappings to avoid that
+				  delay.
+		Jun 26, 2015	* |netrw-gn| mapping implemented
+				* :Ntree NotADir resulted in having
+				  the tree listing expand in the error messages
+				  window.  Fixed.
+		Jun 29, 2015	* Attempting to delete a file remotely caused
+				  an error with "keepsol" mentioned; fixed.
+		Jul 08, 2015	* Several changes to keep the |:jumps| table
+				  correct when working with
+				  |g:netrw_fastbrowse| set to 2
+				* wide listing with accented characters fixed
+				  (using %-S instead of %-s with a |printf()|
+		Jul 13, 2015	* (Daniel Hahler) CheckIfKde() could be true
+				  but kfmclient not installed.  Changed order
+				  in netrw#BrowseX(): checks if kde and
+				  kfmclient, then will use xdg-open on a unix
+				  system (if xdg-open is executable)
+		Aug 11, 2015	* (McDonnell) tree listing mode wouldn't
+				  select a file in a open subdirectory.
+				* (McDonnell) when multiple subdirectories
+				  were concurrently open in tree listing
+				  mode, a ctrl-L wouldn't refresh properly.
+				* The netrw:target menu showed duplicate
+				  entries
+		Oct 13, 2015	* (mattn) provided an exception to handle
+				  windows with shellslash set but no shell
+		Oct 23, 2015	* if g:netrw_usetab and <c-tab> now used
+				  to control whether NetrwShrink is used
+				  (see |netrw-c-tab|)
+	v153:	May 13, 2014	* added another |g:netrw_ffkeep| usage {{{2
+		May 14, 2014	* changed s:PerformListing() so that it
+				  always sets ft=netrw for netrw buffers
+				  (ie. even when syntax highlighting is
+				  off, not available, etc)
+		May 16, 2014	* introduced the |netrw-ctrl-r| functionality
+		May 17, 2014	* introduced the |netrw-:NetrwMB| functionality
+				* mb and mB (|netrw-mb|, |netrw-mB|) will
+				  add/remove marked files from bookmark list
+		May 20, 2014	* (Enno Nagel) reported that :Lex <dirname>
+				  wasn't working.  Fixed.
+		May 26, 2014	* restored test to prevent leftmouse window
+				  resizing from causing refresh.
+				  (see s:NetrwLeftmouse())
+				* fixed problem where a refresh caused cursor
+				  to go just under the banner instead of
+				  staying put
+		May 28, 2014	* (László Bimba) provided a patch for opening
+				  the |:Lexplore| window 100% high, optionally
+				  on the right, and will work with remote
+				  files.
+		May 29, 2014	* implemented :NetrwC  (see |netrw-:NetrwC|)
+		Jun 01, 2014	* Removed some "silent"s from commands used
+				  to implemented scp://... and pscp://...
+				  directory listing.  Permits request for
+				  password to appear.
+		Jun 05, 2014	* (Enno Nagel) reported that user maps "/"
+				  caused problems with "b" and "w", which
+				  are mapped (for wide listings only) to
+				  skip over files rather than just words.
+		Jun 10, 2014	* |g:netrw_gx| introduced to allow users to
+				  override default "<cfile>" with the gx
+				  (|netrw-gx|) map
+		Jun 11, 2014	* gx (|netrw-gx|), with |'autowrite'| set,
+				  will write modified files.  s:NetrwBrowseX()
+				  will now save, turn off, and restore the
+				  |'autowrite'| setting.
+		Jun 13, 2014	* added visual map for gx use
+		Jun 15, 2014	* (Enno Nagel) reported that with having hls
+				  set and wide listing style in use, that the
+				  b and w maps caused unwanted highlighting.
+		Jul 05, 2014	* |netrw-mv| and |netrw-mX| commands included
+		Jul 09, 2014	* |g:netrw_keepj| included, allowing optional
+				  keepj
+		Jul 09, 2014	* fixing bugs due to previous update
+		Jul 21, 2014	* (Bruno Sutic) provided an updated
+				  netrw_gitignore.vim
+		Jul 30, 2014	* (Yavuz Yetim) reported that editing two
+				  remote files of the same name caused the
+				  second instance to have a "temporary"
+				  name.  Fixed: now they use the same buffer.
+		Sep 18, 2014	* (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) provided a patch which
+				  allows scp and windows local paths to work.
+		Oct 07, 2014	* gx (see |netrw-gx|) when atop a directory,
+				  will now do |gf| instead
+		Nov 06, 2014	* For cygwin: cygstart will be available for
+				  netrw#BrowseX() to use if its executable.
+		Nov 07, 2014	* Began support for file://... urls.  Will use
+				  |g:netrw_file_cmd| (typically elinks or links)
+		Dec 02, 2014	* began work on having mc (|netrw-mc|) copy
+				  directories.  Works for linux machines,
+				  cygwin+vim, but not for windows+gvim.
+		Dec 02, 2014	* in tree mode, netrw was not opening
+				  directories via symbolic links.
+		Dec 02, 2014	* added resolved link information to
+				  thin and tree modes
+		Dec 30, 2014	* (issue#231) |:ls| was not showing
+				  remote-file buffers reliably.  Fixed.
+	v152:	Apr 08, 2014	* uses the |'noswapfile'| option (requires {{{2
+				  vim 7.4 with patch 213)
+				* (Enno Nagel) turn |'rnu'| off in netrw
+				  buffers.
+				* (Quinn Strahl) suggested that netrw
+				  allow regular window splitting to occur,
+				  thereby allowing |'equalalways'| to take
+				  effect.
+				* (qingtian zhao) normally, netrw will
+				  save and restore the |'fileformat'|;
+				  however, sometimes that isn't wanted
+		Apr 14, 2014	* whenever netrw marks a buffer as ro,
+				  it will also mark it as nomod.
+		Apr 16, 2014	* sftp protocol now supported by
+				  netrw#Obtain(); this means that one
+				  may use "mc" to copy a remote file
+				  to a local file using sftp, and that
+				  the |netrw-O| command can obtain remote
+				  files via sftp.
+				* added [count]C support (see |netrw-C|)
+		Apr 18, 2014	* when |g:netrw_chgwin| is one more than
+				  the last window, then vertically split
+				  the last window and use it as the
+				  chgwin window.
+		May 09, 2014	* SavePosn was "saving filename under cursor"
+				  from a non-netrw window when using :Rex.
+	v151:	Jan 22, 2014	* extended :Rexplore to return to buffer {{{2
+				  prior to Explore or editing a directory
+				* (Ken Takata) netrw gave error when
+				  clipboard was disabled.  Sol'n: Placed
+				  several if has("clipboard") tests in.
+				* Fixed ftp://X@Y@Z// problem; X@Y now
+				  part of user id, and only Z is part of
+				  hostname.
+				* (A Loumiotis) reported that completion
+				  using a directory name containing spaces
+				  did not work.  Fixed with a retry in
+				  netrw#Explore() which removes the
+				  backslashes vim inserted.
+		Feb 26, 2014	* :Rexplore now records the current file
+				   using w:netrw_rexfile when returning via
+				  |:Rexplore|
+		Mar 08, 2014	* (David Kotchan) provided some patches
+				  allowing netrw to work properly with
+				  windows shares.
+				* Multiple one-liner help messages available
+				  by pressing <cr> while atop the "Quick
+				  Help" line
+				* worked on ShellCmdPost, FocusGained event
+				  handling.
+				* |:Lexplore| path: will be used to update
+				  a left-side netrw browsing directory.
+		Mar 12, 2014	* |netrw-s-cr|: use <s-cr>  to close
+				  tree directory implemented
+		Mar 13, 2014	* (Tony Mechylynck) reported that using
+				  the browser with ftp on a directory,
+				  and selecting a gzipped txt file, that
+				  an E19 occurred (which was issued by
+				  gzip.vim).  Fixed.
+		Mar 14, 2014	* Implemented :MF and :MT (see |netrw-:MF|
+				  and |netrw-:MT|, respectively)
+		Mar 17, 2014	* |:Ntree| [dir] wasn't working properly; fixed
+		Mar 18, 2014	* Changed all uses of set to setl
+		Mar 18, 2014	* Commented the netrw_btkeep line in
+				  s:NetrwOptionSave(); the effect is that
+				  netrw buffers will remain as |'bt'|=nofile.
+				  This should prevent swapfiles being created
+				  for netrw buffers.
+		Mar 20, 2014	* Changed all uses of lcd to use s:NetrwLcd()
+				  instead.  Consistent error handling results
+				  and it also handles Window's shares
+				* Fixed |netrw-d| command when applied with ftp
+				* https: support included for netrw#NetRead()
+	v150:	Jul 12, 2013	* removed a "keepalt" to allow ":e #" to {{{2
+				  return to the netrw directory listing
+		Jul 13, 2013	* (Jonas Diemer) suggested changing
+				  a <cWORD> to <cfile>.
+		Jul 21, 2013	* (Yuri Kanivetsky) reported that netrw's
+				  use of mkdir did not produce directories
+				  following the user's umask.
+		Aug 27, 2013	* introduced |g:netrw_altfile| option
+		Sep 05, 2013	* s:Strlen() now uses |strdisplaywidth()|
+				  when available, by default
+		Sep 12, 2013	* (Selyano Baldo) reported that netrw wasn't
+				  opening some directories properly from the
+				  command line.
+		Nov 09, 2013	* |:Lexplore| introduced
+				* (Ondrej Platek) reported an issue with
+				  netrw's trees (P15).  Fixed.
+				* (Jorge Solis) reported that "t" in
+				  tree mode caused netrw to forget its
+				  line position.
+		Dec 05, 2013	* Added <s-leftmouse> file marking
+				  (see |netrw-mf|)
+		Dec 05, 2013	* (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Explore should use
+				  strlen() instead s:Strlen() when handling
+				  multibyte chars with strpart()
+				  (ie. strpart() is byte oriented, not
+				  display-width oriented).
+		Dec 09, 2013	* (Ken Takata) Provided a patch; File sizes
+				  and a portion of timestamps were wrongly
+				  highlighted with the directory color when
+				  setting `:let g:netrw_liststyle=1` on Windows.
+				* (Paul Domaskis) noted that sometimes
+				  cursorline was activating in non-netrw
+				  windows.  All but one setting of cursorline
+				  was done via setl; there was one that was
+				  overlooked.  Fixed.
+		Dec 24, 2013	* (esquifit) asked that netrw allow the
+				  /cygdrive prefix be a user-alterable
+				  parameter.
+		Jan 02, 2014	* Fixed a problem with netrw-based ballon
+				  evaluation (ie. netrw#NetrwBaloonHelp()
+				  not having been loaded error messages)
+		Jan 03, 2014	* Fixed a problem with tree listings
+				* New command installed: |:Ntree|
+		Jan 06, 2014	* (Ivan Brennan) reported a problem with
+				  |netrw-P|.  Fixed.
+		Jan 06, 2014	* Fixed a problem with |netrw-P| when the
+				  modified file was to be abandoned.
+		Jan 15, 2014	* (Matteo Cavalleri) reported that when the
+				  banner is suppressed and tree listing is
+				  used, a blank line was left at the top of
+				  the display.  Fixed.
+		Jan 20, 2014	* (Gideon Go) reported that, in tree listing
+				  style, with a previous window open, that
+				  the wrong directory was being used to open
+				  a file.  Fixed. (P21)
+	v149:	Apr 18, 2013	* in wide listing format, now have maps for {{{2
+				  w and b to move to next/previous file
+		Apr 26, 2013	* one may now copy files in the same
+				  directory; netrw will issue requests for
+				  what names the files should be copied under
+		Apr 29, 2013	* Trying Benzinger's problem again.  Seems
+				  that commenting out the BufEnter and
+				  installing VimEnter (only) works.  Weird
+				  problem!  (tree listing, vim -O Dir1 Dir2)
+		May 01, 2013	* :Explore ftp://... wasn't working.  Fixed.
+		May 02, 2013	* introduced |g:netrw_bannerbackslash| as
+				  requested by Paul Domaskis.
+		Jul 03, 2013	* Explore now avoids splitting when a buffer
+				  will be hidden.
+	v148:	Apr 16, 2013	* changed Netrw's Style menu to allow direct {{{2
+				  choice of listing style, hiding style, and
+				  sorting style

-==============================================================================
-11. Debugging Netrw Itself				*netrw-debug* {{{1
-
-Step 1: check that the problem you've encountered hasn't already been resolved
-by obtaining a copy of the latest (often developmental) netrw at:
-
-	http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW
-
-The <netrw.vim> script is typically installed on systems as something like:
->
-	/usr/local/share/vim/vim8x/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
-	/usr/local/share/vim/vim8x/autoload/netrw.vim
-		(see output of :echo &rtp)
-<
-which is loaded automatically at startup (assuming :set nocp).  If you
-installed a new netrw, then it will be located at >
-
-	$HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
-	$HOME/.vim/autoload/netrw.vim
-<
-Step 2: assuming that you've installed the latest version of netrw,
-check that your problem is really due to netrw.  Create a file
-called netrw.vimrc with the following contents: >
-
-	set nocp
-	so $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
-<
-Then run netrw as follows: >
-
-	vim -u netrw.vimrc --noplugins -i NONE [some path here]
-<
-Perform whatever netrw commands you need to, and check that the problem is
-still present.  This procedure sidesteps any issues due to personal .vimrc
-settings, .viminfo file, and other plugins.  If the problem does not appear,
-then you need to determine which setting in your .vimrc is causing the
-conflict with netrw or which plugin(s) is/are involved.
-
-Step 3: If the problem still is present, then get a debugging trace from
-netrw:
-
-	1. Get the <Decho.vim> script, available as:
-
-	     http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#DECHO
-	   or
-	     http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=120
-
-	  Decho.vim is provided as a "vimball".  You
-	  should edit the Decho.vba.gz file and source it in: >
-
-		vim Decho.vba.gz
-		:so %
-		:q
-<
-	2. To turn on debug tracing in netrw, then edit the <netrw.vim>
-	   file by typing: >
-
-		vim netrw.vim
-		:DechoOn
-		:wq
-<
-	   To restore to normal non-debugging behavior, re-edit <netrw.vim>
-	   and type >
-
-		vim netrw.vim
-		:DechoOff
-		:wq
-<
-	   This command, provided by <Decho.vim>, will comment out all
-	   Decho-debugging statements (Dfunc(), Dret(), Decho(), Dredir()).
-
-	3. Then bring up vim and attempt to evoke the problem by doing a
-	   transfer or doing some browsing.  A set of messages should appear
-	   concerning the steps that <netrw.vim> took in attempting to
-	   read/write your file over the network in a separate tab or
-	   server vim window.
-
-	   Change the netrw.vimrc file to include the Decho plugin: >
-
-		set nocp
-		so $HOME/.vim/plugin/Decho.vim
-		so $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
-<
-	   You should continue to run vim with >
-
-		vim -u netrw.vimrc --noplugins -i NONE [some path here]
-<
-	   to avoid entanglements with options and other plugins.
-
-	   To save the file: under linux, the output will be in a separate
-	   remote server window; in it, just save the file with >
-
-		:w! DBG
-
-<	   Under a vim that doesn't support clientserver, your debugging
-	   output will appear in another tab: >
-
-		:tabnext
-		:set bt=
-		:w! DBG
-<
-	   Furthermore, it'd be helpful if you would type >
-
-		:Dsep <command>
-
-<	   where <command> is the command you're about to type next,
-	   thereby making it easier to associate which part of the
-	   debugging trace is due to which command.
-
-	   Please send that information to <netrw.vim>'s maintainer along
-	   with the o/s you're using and the vim version that you're using
-	   (see |:version|)  (remove the embedded NOSPAM first) >

-12. History						*netrw-history* {{{1
-
-	v172:	Sep 02, 2021	* (Bram Moolenaar) Changed "l:go" to "go"
-				* (Bram Moolenaar) no need for "b" in
-				  netrw-safe guioptions
-		Nov 15, 2021	* removed netrw_localrm and netrw_localrmdir
-				  references
-		Aug 18, 2022	* (Miguel Barro) improving compatibility with
-				  powershell
-	v171:	Oct 09, 2020	* included code in s:NetrwOptionsSafe()
-				  to allow |'bh'| to be set to delete when
-				  rather than hide when g:netrw_fastbrowse
-				  was zero.
-				* Installed |g:netrw_clipboard| setting
-				* Installed option bypass for |'guioptions'|
-				  a/A settings
-				* Changed popup_beval() to popup_atcursor()
-				  in netrw#ErrorMsg (lacygoill). Apparently
-				  popup_beval doesn't reliably close the
-				  popup when the mouse is moved.
-				* VimEnter() now using win_execute to examine
-				  buffers for an attempt to open a directory.
-				  Avoids issues with popups/terminal from
-				  command line. (lacygoill)
-		Jun 28, 2021	* (zeertzjq) provided a patch for use of
-				  xmap,xno instead of vmap,vno in
-				  netrwPlugin.vim. Avoids entanglement with
-				  select mode.
-		Jul 14, 2021	* Fixed problem addressed by tst976; opening
-				  a file using tree mode, going up a
-				  directory, and opening a file there was
-				  opening the file in the wrong directory.
-		Jul 28, 2021	* (Ingo Karkat) provided a patch fixing an
-				  E488 error with netrwPlugin.vim
-				  (occurred for vim versions < 8.02)
-	v170:	Mar 11, 2020	* (reported by Reiner Herrmann) netrw+tree
-				  would not hide with the ^\..* pattern
-				  correctly.
-				* (Marcin Szamotulski) NetrwOptionRestore
-				  did not restore options correctly that
-				  had a single quote in the option string.
-		Apr 13, 2020	* implemented error handling via popup
-				  windows (see popup_beval())
-		Apr 30, 2020	* (reported by Manatsu Takahashi) while
-				  using Lexplore, a modified file could
-				  be overwritten.  Sol'n: will not overwrite,
-				  but will emit an |E37| (although one cannot
-				  add an ! to override)
-		Jun 07, 2020	* (reported by Jo Totland) repeatedly invoking
-				  :Lexplore and quitting it left unused
-				  hidden buffers.  Netrw will now set netrw
-				  buffers created by :Lexplore to |'bh'|=wipe.
-	v169:	Dec 20, 2019	* (reported by amkarthik) that netrw's x
-				  (|netrw-x|) would throw an error when
-				  attempting to open a local directory.
-	v168:	Dec 12, 2019	* scp timeout error message not reported,
-				  hopefully now fixed (Shane Xb Qian)
-	v167:	Nov 29, 2019	* netrw does a save&restore on @* and @+.
-				  That causes problems with the clipboard.
-				  Now restores occurs only if @* or @+ have
-				  been changed.
-				* netrw will change @* or @+ less often.
-				  Never if I happen to have caught all the
-				  operations that modify the unnamed
-				  register (which also writes @*).
-				* Modified hiding behavior so that "s"
-				  will not ignore hiding.
-	v166:	Nov 06, 2019	* Removed a space from a nmap for "-"
-				* Numerous debugging statement changes
-	v163:	Dec 05, 2017	* (Cristi Balan) reported that a setting ('sel')
-				  was left changed
-				* (Holger Mitschke) reported a problem with
-				  saving and restoring history.  Fixed.
-				* Hopefully I fixed a nasty bug that caused a
-				  file rename to wipe out a buffer that it
-				  should not have wiped out.
-				* (Holger Mitschke) amended this help file
-				  with additional |g:netrw_special_syntax|
-				  items
-				* Prioritized wget over curl for
-				  g:netrw_http_cmd
-	v162:	Sep 19, 2016	* (haya14busa) pointed out two syntax errors
-				  with a patch; these are now fixed.
-		Oct 26, 2016	* I started using mate-terminal and found that
-				  x and gx (|netrw-x| and |netrw-gx|) were no
-				  longer working.  Fixed (using atril when
-				  $DESKTOP_SESSION is "mate").
-		Nov 04, 2016	* (Martin Vuille) pointed out that @+ was
-				  being restored with keepregstar rather than
-				  keepregplus.
-		Nov 09, 2016	* Broke apart the command from the options,
-				  mostly for Windows.  Introduced new netrw
-				  settings: |g:netrw_localcopycmdopt|
-				  |g:netrw_localcopydircmdopt|
-				  |g:netrw_localmkdiropt|
-				  |g:netrw_localmovecmdopt|
-		Nov 21, 2016	* (mattn) provided a patch for preview; swapped
-				  winwidth() with winheight()
-		Nov 22, 2016	* (glacambre) reported that files containing
-				  spaces weren't being obtained properly via
-				  scp.  Fix: apparently using single quotes
-				  such as with "file name" wasn't enough; the
-				  spaces inside the quotes also had to be
-				  escaped (ie. "file\ name").
-				* Also fixed obtain (|netrw-O|) to be able to
-				  obtain files with spaces in their names
-		Dec 20, 2016	* (xc1427) Reported that using "I" (|netrw-I|)
-				  when atop "Hiding" in the banner also caused
-				  the active-banner hiding control to occur
-		Jan 03, 2017	* (Enno Nagel) reported that attempting to
-				  apply netrw to a directory that was without
-				  read permission caused a syntax error.
-		Jan 13, 2017	* (Ingo Karkat) provided a patch which makes
-				  using netrw#Call() better.  Now returns
-				  value of internal routines return, for example.
-		Jan 13, 2017	* (Ingo Karkat) changed netrw#FileUrlRead to
-				  use |:edit| instead of |:read|.  I also
-				  changed the routine name to netrw#FileUrlEdit.
-		Jan 16, 2017	* (Sayem) reported a problem where :Lexplore
-				  could generate a new listing buffer and
-				  window instead of toggling the netrw display.
-				  Unfortunately, the directions for eliciting
-				  the problem weren't complete, so I may or
-				  may not have fixed that issue.
-		Feb 06, 2017	* Implemented cb and cB.  Changed "c" to "cd".
-				  (see |netrw-cb|, |netrw-cB|, and |netrw-cd|)
-		Mar 21, 2017	* previously, netrw would specify (safe) settings
-				  even when the setting was already safe for
-				  netrw.  Netrw now attempts to leave such
-				  already-netrw-safe settings alone.
-				  (affects s:NetrwOptionRestore() and
-				  s:NetrwSafeOptions(); also introduced
-				  s:NetrwRestoreSetting())
-		Jun 26, 2017	* (Christian Brabandt) provided a patch to
-				  allow curl to follow redirects (ie. -L
-				  option)
-		Jun 26, 2017	* (Callum Howard) reported a problem with
-				  :Lexpore not removing the Lexplore window
-				  after a change-directory
-		Aug 30, 2017	* (Ingo Karkat) one cannot switch to the
-				  previously edited file (e.g. with CTRL-^)
-				  after editing a file:// URL.  Patch to
-				  have a "keepalt" included.
-		Oct 17, 2017	* (Adam Faryna) reported that gn (|netrw-gn|)
-				  did not work on directories in the current
-				  tree
-	v157:	Apr 20, 2016	* (Nicola) had set up a "nmap <expr> ..." with
-				  a function that returned a 0 while silently
-				  invoking a shell command.  The shell command
-				  activated a ShellCmdPost event which in turn
-				  called s:LocalBrowseRefresh().  That looks
-				  over all netrw buffers for changes needing
-				  refreshes.  However, inside a |:map-<expr>|,
-				  tab and window changes are disallowed.  Fixed.
-				  (affects netrw's s:LocalBrowseRefresh())
-				* g:netrw_localrmdir not used any more, but
-				  the relevant patch that causes |delete()| to
-				  take over was #1107 (not #1109).
-				* |expand()| is now used on |g:netrw_home|;
-				  consequently, g:netrw_home may now use
-				  environment variables
-				* s:NetrwLeftmouse and s:NetrwCLeftmouse will
-				  return without doing anything if invoked
-				  when inside a non-netrw window
-		Jun 15, 2016	* gx now calls netrw#GX() which returns
-				  the word under the cursor.  The new
-				  wrinkle: if one is in a netrw buffer,
-				  then netrw's s:NetrwGetWord().
-		Jun 22, 2016	* Netrw was executing all its associated
-				  Filetype commands silently; I'm going
-				  to try doing that "noisily" and see if
-				  folks have a problem with that.
-		Aug 12, 2016	* Changed order of tool selection for
-				  handling http://... viewing.
-				  (Nikolay Aleksandrovich Pavlov)
-		Aug 21, 2016	* Included hiding/showing/all for tree
-				  listings
-				* Fixed refresh (^L) for tree listings
-	v156:	Feb 18, 2016	* Changed =~ to =~# where appropriate
-		Feb 23, 2016	* s:ComposePath(base,subdir) now uses
-				  fnameescape() on the base portion
-		Mar 01, 2016	* (gt_macki) reported where :Explore would
-				  make file unlisted. Fixed (tst943)
-		Apr 04, 2016	* (reported by John Little) netrw normally
-				  suppresses browser messages, but sometimes
-				  those "messages" are what is wanted.
-				  See |g:netrw_suppress_gx_mesg|
-		Apr 06, 2016	* (reported by Carlos Pita) deleting a remote
-				  file was giving an error message.  Fixed.
-		Apr 08, 2016	* (Charles Cooper) had a problem with an
-				  undefined b:netrw_curdir.  He also provided
-				  a fix.
-		Apr 20, 2016	* Changed s:NetrwGetBuffer(); now uses
-				  dictionaries.  Also fixed the "No Name"
-				  buffer problem.
-	v155:	Oct 29, 2015	* (Timur Fayzrakhmanov) reported that netrw's
-				  mapping of ctrl-l was not allowing refresh of
-				  other windows when it was done in a netrw
-				  window.
-		Nov 05, 2015	* Improved s:TreeSqueezeDir() to use search()
-				  instead of a loop
-				* NetrwBrowse() will return line to
-				  w:netrw_bannercnt if cursor ended up in
-				  banner
-		Nov 16, 2015	* Added a <Plug>NetrwTreeSqueeze (|netrw-s-cr|)
-		Nov 17, 2015	* Commented out imaps -- perhaps someone can
-				  tell me how they're useful and should be
-				  retained?
-		Nov 20, 2015	* Added |netrw-ma| and |netrw-mA| support
-		Nov 20, 2015	* gx (|netrw-gx|) on a URL downloaded the
-				  file in addition to simply bringing up the
-				  URL in a browser.  Fixed.
-		Nov 23, 2015	* Added |g:netrw_sizestyle| support
-		Nov 27, 2015	* Inserted a lot of <c-u>s into various netrw
-				  maps.
-		Jan 05, 2016	* |netrw-qL| implemented to mark files based
-				  upon |location-list|s; similar to |netrw-qF|.
-		Jan 19, 2016	* using - call delete(directoryname,"d") -
-				  instead of using g:netrw_localrmdir if
-				  v7.4 + patch#1107 is available
-		Jan 28, 2016	* changed to using |winsaveview()| and
-				  |winrestview()|
-		Jan 28, 2016	* s:NetrwTreePath() now does a save and
-				  restore of view
-		Feb 08, 2016	* Fixed a tree-listing problem with remote
-				  directories
-	v154:	Feb 26, 2015	* (Yuri Kanivetsky) reported a situation where
-				  a file was not treated properly as a file
-				  due to g:netrw_keepdir == 1
-		Mar 25, 2015	* (requested by Ben Friz) one may now sort by
-				  extension
-		Mar 28, 2015	* (requested by Matt Brooks) netrw has a lot
-				  of buffer-local mappings; however, some
-				  plugins (such as vim-surround) set up
-				  conflicting mappings that cause vim to wait.
-				  The "<nowait>" modifier has been included
-				  with most of netrw's mappings to avoid that
-				  delay.
-		Jun 26, 2015	* |netrw-gn| mapping implemented
-				* :Ntree NotADir resulted in having
-				  the tree listing expand in the error messages
-				  window.  Fixed.
-		Jun 29, 2015	* Attempting to delete a file remotely caused
-				  an error with "keepsol" mentioned; fixed.
-		Jul 08, 2015	* Several changes to keep the |:jumps| table
-				  correct when working with
-				  |g:netrw_fastbrowse| set to 2
-				* wide listing with accented characters fixed
-				  (using %-S instead of %-s with a |printf()|
-		Jul 13, 2015	* (Daniel Hahler) CheckIfKde() could be true
-				  but kfmclient not installed.  Changed order
-				  in netrw#BrowseX(): checks if kde and
-				  kfmclient, then will use xdg-open on a unix
-				  system (if xdg-open is executable)
-		Aug 11, 2015	* (McDonnell) tree listing mode wouldn't
-				  select a file in a open subdirectory.
-				* (McDonnell) when multiple subdirectories
-				  were concurrently open in tree listing
-				  mode, a ctrl-L wouldn't refresh properly.
-				* The netrw:target menu showed duplicate
-				  entries
-		Oct 13, 2015	* (mattn) provided an exception to handle
-				  windows with shellslash set but no shell
-		Oct 23, 2015	* if g:netrw_usetab and <c-tab> now used
-				  to control whether NetrwShrink is used
-				  (see |netrw-c-tab|)
-	v153:	May 13, 2014	* added another |g:netrw_ffkeep| usage {{{2
-		May 14, 2014	* changed s:PerformListing() so that it
-				  always sets ft=netrw for netrw buffers
-				  (ie. even when syntax highlighting is
-				  off, not available, etc)
-		May 16, 2014	* introduced the |netrw-ctrl-r| functionality
-		May 17, 2014	* introduced the |netrw-:NetrwMB| functionality
-				* mb and mB (|netrw-mb|, |netrw-mB|) will
-				  add/remove marked files from bookmark list
-		May 20, 2014	* (Enno Nagel) reported that :Lex <dirname>
-				  wasn't working.  Fixed.
-		May 26, 2014	* restored test to prevent leftmouse window
-				  resizing from causing refresh.
-				  (see s:NetrwLeftmouse())
-				* fixed problem where a refresh caused cursor
-				  to go just under the banner instead of
-				  staying put
-		May 28, 2014	* (László Bimba) provided a patch for opening
-				  the |:Lexplore| window 100% high, optionally
-				  on the right, and will work with remote
-				  files.
-		May 29, 2014	* implemented :NetrwC  (see |netrw-:NetrwC|)
-		Jun 01, 2014	* Removed some "silent"s from commands used
-				  to implemented scp://... and pscp://...
-				  directory listing.  Permits request for
-				  password to appear.
-		Jun 05, 2014	* (Enno Nagel) reported that user maps "/"
-				  caused problems with "b" and "w", which
-				  are mapped (for wide listings only) to
-				  skip over files rather than just words.
-		Jun 10, 2014	* |g:netrw_gx| introduced to allow users to
-				  override default "<cfile>" with the gx
-				  (|netrw-gx|) map
-		Jun 11, 2014	* gx (|netrw-gx|), with |'autowrite'| set,
-				  will write modified files.  s:NetrwBrowseX()
-				  will now save, turn off, and restore the
-				  |'autowrite'| setting.
-		Jun 13, 2014	* added visual map for gx use
-		Jun 15, 2014	* (Enno Nagel) reported that with having hls
-				  set and wide listing style in use, that the
-				  b and w maps caused unwanted highlighting.
-		Jul 05, 2014	* |netrw-mv| and |netrw-mX| commands included
-		Jul 09, 2014	* |g:netrw_keepj| included, allowing optional
-				  keepj
-		Jul 09, 2014	* fixing bugs due to previous update
-		Jul 21, 2014	* (Bruno Sutic) provided an updated
-				  netrw_gitignore.vim
-		Jul 30, 2014	* (Yavuz Yetim) reported that editing two
-				  remote files of the same name caused the
-				  second instance to have a "temporary"
-				  name.  Fixed: now they use the same buffer.
-		Sep 18, 2014	* (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) provided a patch which
-				  allows scp and windows local paths to work.
-		Oct 07, 2014	* gx (see |netrw-gx|) when atop a directory,
-				  will now do |gf| instead
-		Nov 06, 2014	* For cygwin: cygstart will be available for
-				  netrw#BrowseX() to use if its executable.
-		Nov 07, 2014	* Began support for file://... urls.  Will use
-				  |g:netrw_file_cmd| (typically elinks or links)
-		Dec 02, 2014	* began work on having mc (|netrw-mc|) copy
-				  directories.  Works for linux machines,
-				  cygwin+vim, but not for windows+gvim.
-		Dec 02, 2014	* in tree mode, netrw was not opening
-				  directories via symbolic links.
-		Dec 02, 2014	* added resolved link information to
-				  thin and tree modes
-		Dec 30, 2014	* (issue#231) |:ls| was not showing
-				  remote-file buffers reliably.  Fixed.
-	v152:	Apr 08, 2014	* uses the |'noswapfile'| option (requires {{{2
-				  vim 7.4 with patch 213)
-				* (Enno Nagel) turn |'rnu'| off in netrw
-				  buffers.
-				* (Quinn Strahl) suggested that netrw
-				  allow regular window splitting to occur,
-				  thereby allowing |'equalalways'| to take
-				  effect.
-				* (qingtian zhao) normally, netrw will
-				  save and restore the |'fileformat'|;
-				  however, sometimes that isn't wanted
-		Apr 14, 2014	* whenever netrw marks a buffer as ro,
-				  it will also mark it as nomod.
-		Apr 16, 2014	* sftp protocol now supported by
-				  netrw#Obtain(); this means that one
-				  may use "mc" to copy a remote file
-				  to a local file using sftp, and that
-				  the |netrw-O| command can obtain remote
-				  files via sftp.
-				* added [count]C support (see |netrw-C|)
-		Apr 18, 2014	* when |g:netrw_chgwin| is one more than
-				  the last window, then vertically split
-				  the last window and use it as the
-				  chgwin window.
-		May 09, 2014	* SavePosn was "saving filename under cursor"
-				  from a non-netrw window when using :Rex.
-	v151:	Jan 22, 2014	* extended :Rexplore to return to buffer {{{2
-				  prior to Explore or editing a directory
-				* (Ken Takata) netrw gave error when
-				  clipboard was disabled.  Sol'n: Placed
-				  several if has("clipboard") tests in.
-				* Fixed ftp://X@Y@Z// problem; X@Y now
-				  part of user id, and only Z is part of
-				  hostname.
-				* (A Loumiotis) reported that completion
-				  using a directory name containing spaces
-				  did not work.  Fixed with a retry in
-				  netrw#Explore() which removes the
-				  backslashes vim inserted.
-		Feb 26, 2014	* :Rexplore now records the current file
-				   using w:netrw_rexfile when returning via
-				  |:Rexplore|
-		Mar 08, 2014	* (David Kotchan) provided some patches
-				  allowing netrw to work properly with
-				  windows shares.
-				* Multiple one-liner help messages available
-				  by pressing <cr> while atop the "Quick
-				  Help" line
-				* worked on ShellCmdPost, FocusGained event
-				  handling.
-				* |:Lexplore| path: will be used to update
-				  a left-side netrw browsing directory.
-		Mar 12, 2014	* |netrw-s-cr|: use <s-cr>  to close
-				  tree directory implemented
-		Mar 13, 2014	* (Tony Mechylynck) reported that using
-				  the browser with ftp on a directory,
-				  and selecting a gzipped txt file, that
-				  an E19 occurred (which was issued by
-				  gzip.vim).  Fixed.
-		Mar 14, 2014	* Implemented :MF and :MT (see |netrw-:MF|
-				  and |netrw-:MT|, respectively)
-		Mar 17, 2014	* |:Ntree| [dir] wasn't working properly; fixed
-		Mar 18, 2014	* Changed all uses of set to setl
-		Mar 18, 2014	* Commented the netrw_btkeep line in
-				  s:NetrwOptionSave(); the effect is that
-				  netrw buffers will remain as |'bt'|=nofile.
-				  This should prevent swapfiles being created
-				  for netrw buffers.
-		Mar 20, 2014	* Changed all uses of lcd to use s:NetrwLcd()
-				  instead.  Consistent error handling results
-				  and it also handles Window's shares
-				* Fixed |netrw-d| command when applied with ftp
-				* https: support included for netrw#NetRead()
-	v150:	Jul 12, 2013	* removed a "keepalt" to allow ":e #" to {{{2
-				  return to the netrw directory listing
-		Jul 13, 2013	* (Jonas Diemer) suggested changing
-				  a <cWORD> to <cfile>.
-		Jul 21, 2013	* (Yuri Kanivetsky) reported that netrw's
-				  use of mkdir did not produce directories
-				  following the user's umask.
-		Aug 27, 2013	* introduced |g:netrw_altfile| option
-		Sep 05, 2013	* s:Strlen() now uses |strdisplaywidth()|
-				  when available, by default
-		Sep 12, 2013	* (Selyano Baldo) reported that netrw wasn't
-				  opening some directories properly from the
-				  command line.
-		Nov 09, 2013	* |:Lexplore| introduced
-				* (Ondrej Platek) reported an issue with
-				  netrw's trees (P15).  Fixed.
-				* (Jorge Solis) reported that "t" in
-				  tree mode caused netrw to forget its
-				  line position.
-		Dec 05, 2013	* Added <s-leftmouse> file marking
-				  (see |netrw-mf|)
-		Dec 05, 2013	* (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Explore should use
-				  strlen() instead s:Strlen() when handling
-				  multibyte chars with strpart()
-				  (ie. strpart() is byte oriented, not
-				  display-width oriented).
-		Dec 09, 2013	* (Ken Takata) Provided a patch; File sizes
-				  and a portion of timestamps were wrongly
-				  highlighted with the directory color when
-				  setting `:let g:netrw_liststyle=1` on Windows.
-				* (Paul Domaskis) noted that sometimes
-				  cursorline was activating in non-netrw
-				  windows.  All but one setting of cursorline
-				  was done via setl; there was one that was
-				  overlooked.  Fixed.
-		Dec 24, 2013	* (esquifit) asked that netrw allow the
-				  /cygdrive prefix be a user-alterable
-				  parameter.
-		Jan 02, 2014	* Fixed a problem with netrw-based balloon
-				  evaluation (ie. netrw#NetrwBalloonHelp()
-				  not having been loaded error messages)
-		Jan 03, 2014	* Fixed a problem with tree listings
-				* New command installed: |:Ntree|
-		Jan 06, 2014	* (Ivan Brennan) reported a problem with
-				  |netrw-P|.  Fixed.
-		Jan 06, 2014	* Fixed a problem with |netrw-P| when the
-				  modified file was to be abandoned.
-		Jan 15, 2014	* (Matteo Cavalleri) reported that when the
-				  banner is suppressed and tree listing is
-				  used, a blank line was left at the top of
-				  the display.  Fixed.
-		Jan 20, 2014	* (Gideon Go) reported that, in tree listing
-				  style, with a previous window open, that
-				  the wrong directory was being used to open
-				  a file.  Fixed. (P21)
-	v149:	Apr 18, 2013	* in wide listing format, now have maps for {{{2
-				  w and b to move to next/previous file
-		Apr 26, 2013	* one may now copy files in the same
-				  directory; netrw will issue requests for
-				  what names the files should be copied under
-		Apr 29, 2013	* Trying Benzinger's problem again.  Seems
-				  that commenting out the BufEnter and
-				  installing VimEnter (only) works.  Weird
-				  problem!  (tree listing, vim -O Dir1 Dir2)
-		May 01, 2013	* :Explore ftp://... wasn't working.  Fixed.
-		May 02, 2013	* introduced |g:netrw_bannerbackslash| as
-				  requested by Paul Domaskis.
-		Jul 03, 2013	* Explore now avoids splitting when a buffer
-				  will be hidden.
-	v148:	Apr 16, 2013	* changed Netrw's Style menu to allow direct {{{2
-				  choice of listing style, hiding style, and
-				  sorting style
