Add path to accommodate macOS' dynamic $TMPDIR
Per a report from Lakshay Garg <lakshayg@outlook.in>, the use of $TMPDIR in the Vim plugin's pattern match does not work on macOS X, due to the dynamic and symbolically-linked temporary dir structure this system uses. Lakshay's email to me, which includes a full explanation, is reproduced with his permission below. This change is reflected downstream in the password-store repository: <https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/commit/?id=918992c> >Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2021 23:59:22 -0800 >From: Lakshay Garg <lakshayg@outlook.in> >To: tom@sanctum.geek.nz >Subject: [PATCH] vim: fix redact_pass.vim for macOS > >Hi Tom > >Thanks for maintaining redact_pass.vim.
