TODO2: create phylogenetic tree of vimrcs

This script scrapes vimrc's hosted in github and returns the most commonly used vim configurations.

python eigenvimrc.py

The "voting" process may iterate as follows:

def vote(default):
    vimrcs = people_curate_their_vimrc()
    sleep(a_month)
    new_default = most_common_50_percent(vimrcs)
    if new_default != default:
        return vote(new_default)
    else:
        return new_default

#Install 3. Make sure pathogen is available and execute pathogen#infect() is in ~/.vimrc 2. cd ~/.vim/bundle 3. git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git

#Result syntax on > set nocompatible
