The attached patch adds persistent undo functionallity to Vim 7.3
It is a feature of Vim 7.3 and thus it will not work on older versions. It allows you to save undo history after closing a file. I believe it can be very usefull at times.

ps: how can I commit it directly to git?

Is it possible to make the settings conditional on the vim version? Most Linux distros and OS X are on vim 7.2.

Thnx for the info on git deviantinegral!

As for the conditional settings, I really can't answer, maybe someone else can!

If I understand skottler's comment #3, then all lines that start with a comment (not those that have code followed by a comment) should have a space after the comment character. The attached patch applies this style to the current git code and also solves the problem raised in #1 that persistent undo only works with vim 7.3 or later.

An if statement inside the .vimrc! Brilliant!

ps: I got the problem on #3 now...
