Support for git branches need to be considered.

Open xbot opened this issue 8 years ago • 9 comments

Placing .session.vim and .undodir under the current path is easy to manage sessions, but all git branches have to share the same session, which is not comfortable.

Maybe putting all sessions into a specialized dir is better ?

The intent behind co-locating these artifacts with a given folder/repo is to avoid orphaned data and to emphasize the scope to a working directory. There are a few measures in place that would make something like transitions between branches fairly seamless. so can you expand on what you mean by "not comfortable", and what problem it is you're wanting to solve by having a specialised directory?

I understand the intention. What I said "not comfortable" is that when switching from this branch to another, I want to load the workspace of that branch, not the one of the former branch.

Interesting idea, that makes sense - so essentially git support for sessions that auto-reload based on current branch. I'll keep this issue open as a feature request and will work on it the next opportunity I have. Thanks for your feedback!

Looking forward to that !

Sorry to dig this up after almost 3 years but since the issue is still open... is this still on the "roadmap"?

Bumpity!

I just got this madness after switching branches and reopening Vim, it took a lot of time to ENTER through... Loads of error messages about broken workspace/session file configuring non-existent folds in non-existent files.

Does this go away after running :ToggleWorkspace ? I have been getting similar errors for nerdtree and rnvimr (ranger) plugins buffers ? I don't know how to deal with those. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

never mind, got it all worked out No errors for now vim-workspace is absolutely great, far better than its alternatives
