+" Vim Plugin: 	Edit the file with an existing Vim if possible
+" Maintainer:	Bram Moolenaar
+" Last Change:	2005 Dec 11
+
+" This is a plugin, drop it in your (Unix) ~/.vim/plugin or (Win32)
+" $VIM/vimfiles/plugin directory.
+
+" This plugin serves two purposes:
+" 1. On startup, if we were invoked with one file name argument and the file
+"    is not modified then try to find another Vim instance that is editing
+"    this file.  If there is one then bring it to the foreground and exit.
+" 2. When a file is edited and a swap file exists for it, try finding that
+"    other Vim and bring it to the foreground.  Requires Vim 7, because it
+"    uses the SwapExists autocommand event.
+
+" Function that finds the Vim instance that is editing "filename" and brings
+" it to the foreground.
