Severity: minor

When using %50 in my viminfo variable as described in :he 'viminfo' I
get the following error.

        Error detected while processing /home/grantbow/.vimrc:
        line   60:
        E527: Missing comma: viminfo='50,<1000,%50,/100,n/home/grantbow/.vim/viminfo
        Hit ENTER or type command to continue

I looked at line 4963 of src/option.c but I didn't see anything obvious
about why this is happening.
