== DESCRIPTION:
This package provides a handy command to help you recover from Vim recovery files.
Vim makes .swp files as you edit your files so that if an edit session crashes you
can recover the latest changes you haven't saved. Unfortunately though, there's no
easy way to compare a saved file with the recovery file, so if a session does crash
you are often left with many .swp files that you have to save under new names one
by one and compare to the original files.
vimrecover searches for swap files in the current directory, converts them to
files that can be compared to the original files, lets you compare them with
meld, deletes them if they are the same as the original files and generally
helps you clean up the mess.
vimrecover is an interactive command-line program.
== SYNOPSIS:
vimrecover
== REQUIREMENTS:
* Vim 7.1, may work with others but you'd need to test.
* meld, if you want to use it.
== INSTALL:
* sudo gem install vimrecover
== LICENSE:
The latest version of the GNU General Public License.
