Re: make gtags.vim work for any dir

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Some people do not need this function. I disagree with confusing
existing users.

How about the following?

" The following custom variables are available.
...
" Gtags_EmacsLike_Mode
"       use the tag files of the project to which the current file
"       belongs. By default, use the tag files of the current project.

(If the grammar of this sentence is wrong, can you fix it?)

Only people who want this function should do as follows.

[$HOME/.vimrc]
let Gtags_EmacsLike_Mode = 1

What do you think?
