Recently, I configured Vim to remember undo information

be logged into the work server, and want to quickly edit
a file. I was concerned as to how that might confuse
my local Vim the next time I edit that same file. If
I start undoing after loading a file, it seems that Vim
will expect the contents to be something other than what
they are. Am I going to have a problem with this?
Undo information is stored in a file. If you have not configured 'undodir' and
just leave the default as storing the undo file in the same directory as the
edited file, then your Vim on both machines will see the same undo information.
You just need to be sure to configure both Vims to use that saved information
and I think you'll be fine.
I did put it somewhere in ~/.vim, as I was directed to do so
in the first article I found when Googling this. However,
the Vim on the work server is too old to support persistent
undo altogether, and I'm not really in a position to upgrade it.
Thanks,
Tobiah
