These are more like notes than proper documentation, so remove it as
they're not of much use unless you don't know what you're looking for.
Many of these are somewhat useful, but many also duplicate what's
already documented elsewhere. In any case, vi_diff.txt is the last
place that assorted tips'n'tricks should be located (we already have
tips.txt!!!).
In regards to Nvim, it's very outdated; for an updated list of such
arguments refer to the manual page or `nvim --help`. In all other
regards, it's of little to no use to end-users.
Note: it looks like viminfo files do not store search direction intentionally.
After reading viminfo file search direction was considered to be “forward”.
Note 2: all files created on earlier Neovim version will automatically receive
“forward” direction.
Fixes#3580
"vimrc" refers to all files that are used to configure Neovim. The main
configuration file is init.vim nowadays.
All nvimrc references that are left refer to a local ".nvimrc" which is read
if 'exrc' is set. ".ngvimrc" references were completely wiped.
Closes#3552.
Currently the logfile (":profile start {logfile}") only gets written when Vim
exits. This new command allows to dump the log immediately without exiting.
Problem: "zr" and "zm" do not take a count.
Solution: Implement the count, restrict the fold level to the maximum
nesting depth. (Marcin Szamotulski)

From the documentation itself:
:[range]o[pen] Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
{Vi: start editing in open mode}
...
Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For
those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex
mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole
screen instead of only one line.
Part of the reason behind this is to make removing vi_diff.txt easier,
although it's also because :open is not too useful.

A couple lines tripped me up while reading through this document for the first
time. This change aims to reword/rework these areas, so that they are clearer
on the first read.
All of this information is a combination of incorrect, outdated, or
redundant given its availability in other help files.

Solution: Add CTRL-G U to keep the undo sequence for the following
