I would really dislike such files. Imagine every editor has a project-specific
configuration file in the project root and you have 10 hackers working on this
project with 10 different editors.
And I would dislike to have a limited set of configuration options within such
a file.
Configuration is .emacs' concern, so how about the following:
(defmacro add-project-locals (directory-action-alist)
`(add-hook 'find-file-hook
(lambda ()
,@(mapcar (lambda (dapair)
`(when (string-match (concat "^" ,(car dapair))
(buffer-file-name))
,(cdr dapair)))
directory-action-alist))))
Then you have
(add-project-locals
(("lisp/" . (message "This is a lisp project"))
("src/emacs-cvs/" . (progn
;; do some emacs code specific stuff here))))
expand to
(add-hook 'find-file-hook
(lambda ()
(when (string-match (concat "^" "lisp/"))
(buffer-file-name)
(message "This is a lisp project"))
(when (string-match (concat "^" "src/emacs-cvs/")
(buffer-file-name))
(progn
;; do some emacs code specific stuff here))))
Of course, this is just a kludgy hack, but I think the approach itself is not
as bad as having emacs-specific setup-files spread all over several
project-directories.
