Basically I think editor preferences are a local matter which
can reasonably differ between different developers, so they
shouldn't be in the git repo.

(a) haven't you just demonstrated that even vim users have
different preferred settings?
(b) where do we stop? emacs? bbedit? there are a lot of editors
out there...

In any case, 3 settings clearly don't encompass the whole of
QEMU's coding style. The relevant bit of my .emacs tweaks about
20 different settings...
