Visual indicator of remote file #98

Closed joefrancia closed 9 years ago

I would like to see any remote files I'm editing be somehow visibly marked to stand out from the rest of my project. My use case is I normally am working on a local copy of our repository, but sometimes I want to make quick edits on the server's copy of the file to test changes that can only tested remotely without littering the commit logs with a million little commits and I want that remote file to stand out from the rest of the opened tabs.

As you can see the remote file gets a globe icon to make it stand out. This behavior is, unfortunately, overriden by certain other packages (file-icons being the major with over >190000 downloads).

I haven't quite figured out how to make it work if file-icons is installed.
