possible autochdir workaround

[Konfekt]

Hello,

Just found the following lines in the documentation to CtrlP.vim, and they seem to behave well with respect to ctrlspace, better than set autochdir or the workaround proposed here. The autocmd sets the cwd to the current project root, similar to what ctrlspace does when opening it first time.

  " A standalone function to set the working directory to the project's root, or
  " to the parent directory of the current file if a root can't be found:
  function! s:setcwd()
    let cph = expand('%:p:h', 1)
    if cph =~ '^.\+://' | retu | en
    for mkr in ['.git/', '.hg/', '.svn/', '.bzr/', '_darcs/', '.vimprojects']
      let wd = call('find'.(mkr =~ '/$' ? 'dir' : 'file'), [mkr, cph.';'])
      if wd != '' | let &acd = 0 | brea | en
    endfo
    exe 'lc!' fnameescape(wd == '' ? cph : substitute(wd, mkr.'$', '.', ''))
  endfunction

  autocmd BufEnter * call s:setcwd()

Looks scary ;) but yeah, CtrlP is a truly storehouse of knowledge. Do you think should we refer to this in the docs? Any pull requests will be appreciated :)

I think so. I could merge it in there.

This resolves the problem with the doubling of file paths when loading CtrlSpace Workspace described in my earlier posts (you should check this yourself with autocmd BufEnter * silent! lcd %:p:h), but keeps a autochdir functionality.

The problem now only reoccurs, naturally, when the project root set by CtrlSpace is one specified by the user, without any VCS markers.

Yeah, that would be great :).

Ok, autochdir should be working from now. Let me know if more issues occur.

Perfeito. I stick to my CtrlP RootDir autochdir function and let you know of any irregularities, perhaps others will report if other autochdir functionalities go along as well.

As a sidenote: there is a check for swapped files missing when loading a workspace. If there is a swap file, the work space simply won't load and you have to cancel by Control-C.

This should be fixed too (#16). :)

Oh, just in time. Already cloned your new master.
