-	- doesn't work well with symlinks (Jordan will look into it)
-	- old undo files tend to pile up
-        - :rundo should output a message (Jordan will fix this)
-    Bugs / fixes:
-    - Undo file should be stored with the original file by default, the undo
-      directory doesn't handle remote files or directory renames.
-      Use same mechanism as for swap files?  But only with one file name.
-    - Read coladd depending on FEAT_VIRTUALEDIT, should always read/write it
-    - invoke u_wundo() inside buf_write()
-    - invoke u_rundo() inside readfile()
-    - Document that ":wundo" and ":rundo" should only be used in autocommands.
-    - unserialize_pos() does not need a return value
-    - function comments go before the function, not inside
-    - u_get_undofile() changes its argument ffname
-    - make magic four bytes.
-    - errors need numbers "E000:"
-    - also put 'enc' in undo file.
-    - don't use timestamp, "touch file" or dir copy may change it and undo
-      still works.
-    Older ideas:
-    - Use timestamps, so that a version a certain time ago can be found and
-      info before some time/date can be flushed. 'undopersist' gives maximum
-      time to keep undo: "3h", "1d", "2w", "1y", etc.  For the file use dot
-      and extension: ".filename.un~" (like swapfile but "un~" instead of
-      "swp").
 -   ":{range}source": source the lines from the current file.
 	You can already yank lines and use :@" to execute them.
 	Most of do_source() would not be used, need a new function.
 	It's easy when not doing breakpoints or profiling.

+- Use timestamps for undo, so that a version a certain time ago can be found
+  and info before some time/date can be flushed. 'undopersist' gives maximum

-5. Remarks about undo					*undo-remarks*
+5. Undo persistence		*undo-persistence* *persistent-undo*
+
+When unloading a buffer Vim normally destroys the tree of undos created for
+that buffer.  By setting the 'undofile' option, Vim will automatically save
+your undo history when you write a file and restore undo history when you edit
+the file again.
+
+The 'undofile' option is checked after writing a file, before the BufWritePost
+autocommands.  If you want to control what files to write undo information
+for, you can use a BufWritePre autocommand: >
+	au BufWritePre /tmp/* setlocal noundofile
+
+Vim saves undo trees in a separate undo file, one for each edited file, using
+a simple scheme that maps filesystem paths directly to undo files. Vim will
+detect if an undo file is no longer synchronized with the file it was written
+for (with a hash of the file contents) and ignore it when the file was changed
+after the undo file was written, to prevent corruption.
+
+Undo files are normally saved in the same directory as the file.  This can be
+changed with the 'undodir' option.
+
+You can also save and restore undo histories by using ":wundo" and ":rundo"
+respectively:
+							*:wundo* *:rundo*
+:wundo[!] {file}
+		Write undo history to {file}.
+		When {file} exists and it does not look like an undo file
+		(the magic number at the start of the file is wrong), then
+		this fails, unless the ! was added.
+		If it exists and does look like an undo file it is
+		overwritten.
+		{not in Vi}
+
+:rundo {file}	Read undo history from {file}.
+		{not in Vi}
+
+You can use these in autocommands to explicitly specify the name of the
+history file.  E.g.: >
+
+	au BufReadPost * rundo %:h/UNDO/%:t
+	au BufWritePost * wundo %:h/UNDO/%:t
+
+You should keep 'undofile' off, otherwise you end up with two undo files for
+every write.
+Note: I did not verify this always works!
+
+Note that while reading/writing files and 'undofile' is set most errors will
+be silent, unless 'verbose' is set.  With :wundo and :rundo you will get more
+error messages, e.g., when the file cannot be read or written.
+
+NOTE: undo files are never deleted by Vim.  You need to delete them yourself.
+
+Reading an existing undo file may fail for several reasons:
+*E822*	It cannot be opened, because the file permissions don't allow it.
+*E823*	The magic number at the start of the file doesn't match.  This usually
+	means it is not an undo file.
+*E824*	The version number of the undo file indicates that it's written by a
+	newer version of Vim.  You need that newer version to open it.  Don't
+	write the buffer if you want to keep the undo info in the file.
+"Undo file contents changed"
+	The file text differs from when the undo file was written.  This means
+	the undo file cannot be used, it would corrupt the text.
+*E825* *E826*	The undo file does not contain valid contents and cannot be
+	used.
+*E827*	The magic number at the end of the file was not found.  This usually
+	means the file was truncated.
+
+Writing an undo file may fail for these reasons:
+*E828*	The file to be written cannot be created.  Perhaps you do not have
+	write permissions in the directory.
+"Will not overwrite with undo file, cannot read"
+	A file exists with the name of the undo file to be written, but it
+	cannot be read.  You may want to delete this file or rename it.
+"Will not overwrite, this is not an undo file"
+	A file exists with the name of the undo file to be written, but it
+	does not start with the right magic number.  You may want to delete
+	this file or rename it.
+*E829*	An error occurred while writing the undo file.  You may want to try
+	again.
