Package: vim-scripts
Version: 20091011
Severity: normal

Hi,
while using gnupg.vim with symmetric cipher I noticed that on :wq (an habit of
mine, but I guess of many other vim users) if you mistype the passphrase on
prompt the written file will be empty and vim will exit, IOW the file is
truncated.

A suggested temporary fix is to have the file without write permission so vim
will refuse to write on :wq, though it would be nice if the plugin can abort
the command sequence, not sure if that's possibile though.

thanks,
filippo
