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.

When building in a git repo:
- If HEAD corresponds to an annotated tag, (i.e. git_get_exact_tag()
returns truthy) the current build is considered a "release" build:
NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM is directly assigned the tagged version name,
and NVIM_VERSION_* defines are ignored.
- If HEAD is not a tagged release, then NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM is
directly assigned the result of `git describe`.
If git (or the repo) is not available:
- The NVIM_VERSION_* defines are used to define NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM.
Sample outputs for `nvim --version` and `nvim +version`:
Building with git @ non-tagged commit e66df14:

Building with git @ v0.1.1 tag:
NVIM v0.1.1 (compiled Nov 1 2015 19:03:52)

Building this commit _not_ in a git repo:

Before this change, building Neovim would recursively search parent
directories for a .git directory. If Neovim was downloaded as a tarball
(i.e. without a .git directory), but placed in a subdirectory of
a Git repository, this caused a CMake error. Such a situation could
occur when packaging Neovim, for example.
Unfortunately, the previous attempt in #3317 did not fix this problem.
* Hide commit information from --version if we can't find any (e.g. when
building from tarball).
To define a release in CMake, set NVIM_VERSION_PRERELEASE to "".
This will modify --version output to:
* Show annotated Git tag instead of commit hash (NVIM_VERSION_COMMIT).
* Hide commit date (NVIM_VERSION_BUILD).
Introduce new build type Dev that replaces RelWithDebInfo for development
builds off master and has optimizations, debug info, and logging enabled.
Keep assertions enabled for RelWithDebInfo.
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All of this information is a combination of incorrect, outdated, or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.

Specifically refactor u_get_undo_file_name which will be modified to
automatically create undo directory and replace `char_u` with `char` in some of
the related functions.
