+There exists a git-difftool extension called `git-vimdumps` that can be used
+to conveniently inspect screendump files and diff them.  Please see in the Vim
+Repository the file `src/testdir/commondumps.vim` on how to create and use

+# A. USE Git FOR CONFIGURATION.

+# the "vimdumps" name is arbitrary):

+# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# [diff]
