+" Vim Plugin: Edit the file with an existing Vim if possible
+" Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar
+" Last Change: 2008 May 29
+
+" This is a plugin, drop it in your (Unix) ~/.vim/plugin or (Win32)
+" $VIM/vimfiles/plugin directory. Or make a symbolic link, so that you
+" automatically use the latest version.
+
+" This plugin serves two purposes:
+" 1. On startup, if we were invoked with one file name argument and the file
+" is not modified then try to find another Vim instance that is editing
+" this file. If there is one then bring it to the foreground and exit.
+" 2. When a file is edited and a swap file exists for it, try finding that
+" other Vim and bring it to the foreground. Requires Vim 7, because it
+" uses the SwapExists autocommand event.
+if v:version < 700
+ finish
+endif
+
+" Function that finds the Vim instance that is editing "filename" and brings
+" it to the foreground.
