Feature Request: go to the project root #107

I absolutely love the "~" mapping that opens the home directory. What about having a similar mapping that opens the root of the current project? This can be defined as the closest parent directory that has .git inside of it.

That's a pretty limited definition, but if that's what you want, it's a one liner with Fugitive:

autocmd FileType netrw nnoremap <buffer> g~ :Gedit :/<CR>

Personally my needs are more elaborate than that and I'd rather have something Projectionist based:

autocmd FileType netrw nnoremap <buffer> g~ :edit `=projectionist#path()`<CR>

At any rate, I consider "project root" to be outside the scope of Vinegar.
