Chaining _vsvimrc to _vimrc to *real* _vimrc

[farmergreg]

I'm running the latest (1.6.0.2). Note, my "real" _vimrc lives in ~/dotfiles/_vimrc which is a git repo. Here's the setup that I initially tried (doesn't work with vsvim):

~/_vsvimrc:

set vsvim_useeditordefaults
so ~\_vimrc

~/_vimrc:

"For windows computers... fix problems caused by using mklink
"and editing/saving $MYVIMRC by creating a dummy vimrc that points
"to the real one
let $MYVIMRC='~/dotfiles/_vimrc'
so $MYVIMRC

As a workaround, I changed _vsvimrc to skip using ~/_vimrc. Then everything works the way it should...:

~/_vsvimrc:

set vsvim_useeditordefaults
so ~\dotfiles\_vimrc

Thanks for reporting. Yeah at this time the $MYVIMRC style of variables is not supported. Hence that pair of lines in ~/_vimrc doesn't get run properly. Keeping this issue open to track that style of variable
