Feature request: Add new type 'vcs' for g:startify_lists #548

Open karamellpelle opened 1 year ago

karamellpelle commented 1 year ago

I have let g:startify_change_to_vcs_root = 1 and thought I could list all recent files from that VCS project like so:

let g:startify_lists = [
      \ { 'type': 'dir',       'header': ['   Recent files in project '. fnamemodify(getcwd(), ':t')] },
      \ ]

But getcwd() is not _vcsroot but the current directory (suppose I am in a subfolder of the project).

Suggestion add an additional type 'vcs' (instead of 'dir' here) that lists recent files from the latest edited VCS project.

Does this setting work for you? If found Fugitive's 

        autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *
                    \ if !empty(FugitiveGitDir()) |
                    \   Glcd |
                    \ endif

more reliable and was about to open an issue.
