+A usable VIM Undo tree

+
+
+As some may have heard, vim stores your actions (and undos) as a tree, which is
+great. With vim 7.3 there is even a option to persist these changes between
+session. But with vanilla vim this tree is pretty much unusable. 
+
+A friend showed me a great plugin which gives vim git-like super powers by
+showing undos in a tree, together with a patch view with the `gundo plugin <https://github.com/sjl/gundo.vim>`_.
+
+This plugin, together with persistent undo files feels almost like when i have used ctrl-r for the shell the first time! 
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Grab vundle for VIM, `install it
+<https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim>`_.
+
+Add these lines to your vimrc:
+
+.. code-block:: vim
+    
+    Bundle 'sjl/gundo.vim'
+    nnoremap <F5> :GundoToggle<CR>
+    set undodir=~/.vim/undo
+    set undofile
+    "maximum number of changes that can be undone
+    set undolevels=1000000
+    "maximum number lines to save for undo on a buffer reload
+    set undoreload=10000000
+
+In vim run **:BundleInstall** , you can now toggle the undo bar with **<F5>**.
