Man, symlinks are not silly, they are super easy to deal with and super powerful. They do everything for you without you even knowing it. Now, you're using Git

Now, you're using Git submodules in your setup. This, yes, is a nasty and dangerous thing to deal with.
- lonetwin 11y agoerm, firstly, by silly symlinks I meant in the context of managing dotfiles. A lot of exiting tools do that and IMHO, it is silly. Of course in yours it might make perfect sense. Secondly, erm -- git submodules are nasty and dangerous ? ...for managing vim files ? How am I to use pathogen (or all the hipsters to use oh-my-<whatever>)). I didn't say this is what you use on your production servers. This is how I manage my dotfiles on my personal boxes and find it easier to use than any specific purpose tool.
