Re: batch swap file recovery

Not sure if this may be useful for some type of faq or something, but
this did take me a little bit to figure out:

for i in $(find -type f -not -path "./.git/*"); do f="${i/.\/}"; echo
$f; \vim --cmd 'set backupdir=/home/swilson/.vim/swpfiles/' --cmd 'set
dir=/home/swilson/.vim/swpfiles/' --cmd recover -c wq -N -u NONE "$f";
done
