There is a feature in Perforce, which allows the command line client (p4) to find its configuration file (.p4rc) by looking up the current directory and any directory above it in recursive order, stopping at the first one that has a .p4rc file in it. If that fails, it falls back to the one in the user's home directory (if there is one).
It is a feature that I implemented in one of my applications recently (Kelp). It is a feature that I would absolutely love to have: I develop for several projects following different indentation styles and visualisation rules. I know there is a convention of putting a vi comment line at the beginning of a file to indicate what options to use for that file, but that is not feasible on a large scale. I am about to embark in developing such feature for vim and will make it available as a patch, if there isn't one already available. -- Cheers, Filippo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
