I think what he is asking is for the " mark to only be written to the
viminfo file for buffers that have been modified. I'm not sure how to
do this or if it is even possible, but it seems like a perfectly
reasonable behavior to want.

Perhaps a VimLeavePre autocommand that wipes unmodified buffers? What
other settings for those buffers would not be saved to .viminfo?
