View/edit the same file in multiple vim instances

Hello,

I would like to edit the same file between multiple vim instances. I already saw http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php #11, which would simply answer this use case.

However, I would like to find a solution before this feature maybe arrive.

What I want to achieve is the following: open the same bunch of files in two (or more) vim instances. When I edit a file in one instance, if this file is open in the other instance, I would like to see the updated file in the other instance without typing ":e!". What I don't need is to share registers between the instances.

Is there any existing plugin for such use case?

In case there is nothing, I began to write some lines using remote functions, I'll share it when it seems clean enough.

Jérôme
