Note: Vim has moved off Google Code. If you still want to follow these instructions use the bitbucket target (https://bitbucket.org/vim-mirror/vim) instead of the google code when you do the mercurial checkout. details

git clone https://github.com/vim/vim --depth 1

to not have to grab the whole repository.

Thanks for your helpful instructions.
The dpkg-buildpackage method is great, as I don't have to rebuild my VIM on every new machine anymore.

Amazing, works perfect on my Ubuntu 14.04, I had errors in this lines:
sudo rm /usr/bin/vim
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/luajit-2.0.0-beta9 /usr/bin/luajit ----> because I already have luajit
None of my plugins or configuration was modified, it's perfect!
