Hm, yes. Stored undos could grow but this should not cause problems, IMHO.

I have configured it like follows:

set undofile
set undolevels=5000
set undodir=~/.vim/undodir/


Another point might be interesting. In the undo directory there are undo files
where the real files don't exist any longer. Not sure if there is some cleanup
procedure avalaible.
