in Vim, the persistent undo and with it all changes to a file are personal setting. the information is AFAIK not stored in the file itself. when the ownership of the file changed from you to someone else, the meta information of that file probably changed as well. did you try to make you owner of the file, if that resolves the issue? I don't know if this can be done in Vim, but any file manager will make it possible. //meine -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
