Patch Vim with the breakindent patch on OS X with Homebrew

homebrew, macos, patch, vim

Solution

Use Mercurial to get the latest Vim source code:

$ hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
$ cd vim

Grab the patch.

Apply the patch as indicated in the linked thread:

$ patch -p1 < /path/to/breakindent.patch

Configure Vim with the options you need (python/ruby support, custom location, etc.):

$ ./configure --with-features=huge <other options>

Build and install:

$ sudo make && make install

Problem

I'm on OS X 10.7 with Vim 7.3. I'd like to install the breakindent patch. Here's a way to do it on Linux with `apt-get`: Compiling VIM with breakindent patch. How do I do this? I suppose it will involve building Vim via Homebrew (which is OK with me).
