Bug#486114: syntax/sh.vim: highlighting of "for", "if" before/after dashes

[Stephan Beyer]

Package: vim-runtime
Version: 1:7.1.293-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

"for" and "if" (and others) highlight as bash keywords
even if in such a case:
	git-for-each-ref
or
	git for-each-ref

The \<for\> matching seems to be not sufficient here.

Because of this mismatch, vim wants to see a "do" and "done"
after git for-each-ref, which is non-sense.
If you do not put "do"/"done" thereafter, all other bash
control structures will be highlighted as errors.

For example:
if ...
then
	git for-each-ref ....
	...
fi

"fi" will be highlighted as error then.
(Also: closing parenthesis, and the like.)


Regards,
  Stephan

PS: Btw, it seems that "while" does not highlight at all.
