Git error on Cygwin, never seen before, fresh install

I just reformatted my OS-HDD today, did a clean sweep of all software, fresh installs (I love when I get to do that!).

On my re-install of Cygwin, everything is fine, except for the following issue:

Cygwin-Git issue (pre: git init, git add *)

    Justin@DESKTOP-Q66GK39 /cygdrive/c/ti/lib/jmrTemp
    $ git commit
    Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim:

    line  114:

    Press ENTER or type command to continue

Error Code Source

#vim80/defaults.vim:99-102
    autocmd BufReadPost *
      \ if line("'\"") >= 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
      \   exe "normal! g`\"" |
      \ endif

      command DiffOrig vert new | set bt=nofile | r ++edit # | 0d_ | diffthis
              \ | wincmd p | diffthis

Questions

  1. Where does these errors come from?
  2. How to correct or remove these errors?

Drop the multi-lines... duh :)!

Here is my working copy:

Solution 1

autocmd BufReadPost * if line("'\"") >= 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") | exe "normal! g`\"" | endif

Solution 2

if !exists(":DiffOrig")
  command DiffOrig vert new | set bt=nofile | r ++edit # | 0d_ | diffthis | wincmd p | diffthis
endif

Embarassing I didn't try this earlier, sheesh. Posting here for others, if needed! :)

The easiest way to fix this problem is to just modify the file in question to use the "standard" line-continuation method which is a \ character at the end of the line to be continued (whereas this file is attempting to do the alternate way of a \ at the beginning of lines 2+)

Example:

#vim80/defaults.vim:99-102
autocmd BufReadPost *
  \ if line("'\"") >= 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
  \   exe "normal! g`\"" |
  \ endif

Should be changed to:

#vim80/defaults.vim:99-102
autocmd BufReadPost * \
  if line("'\"") >= 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") | \
    exe "normal! g`\"" | \
  endif
