Pathogen (Old way)
==================

http://vimcasts.org/episodes/synchronizing-plugins-with-git-submodules-and-pathogen/

To add plugins put them into .vim/bundle.
If they are git repos use

git submodule add git://xxxxx .vim/bundle/name-of-plugin
git commit

To update a submodule to the latest version go to the the vim/bundle/xxx and do
git fetch
git checkout master
git merge origin/master
#cd ~/dotfiles
#git status
#git commit # not sure about this yet but I guess we need to commit the submodule changes
#git push

To uninstall a vim plugin (remove submodule)
============================================
git submodule deinit .vim/bundle/<theplugin> # no traling /
git submodule rm  .vim/bundle/theplugin


Plugins (new way using Vundle)
===============================

Just add the plugin entries in the .vim/vundle.vim

exit vim
and start it again (so that vundle.vim is read)
run :PluginInstall

on the other dotfiles repositories
=================
git clone git@github.com:ecerulm/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./create_links_linux.sh
git pull # or git fetch etc

# the submodules will not be downloaded / updated
#Get the initial submodule repo
git submodule init
git submodule update

# You can update all submodules with
git submoudle update --recursive
