Subject: patch 8.0.1489: there is no easy way to get the global directory
X-Git-Tag: v8.0.1489
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5459129af2a832a027a1e7ca2d6177c26647d64f;p=vim

patch 8.0.1489: there is no easy way to get the global directory

Problem:    There is no easy way to get the global directory, esp. if some
            windows have a local directory.
Solution:   Make getcwd(-1) return the global directory. (Andy Massimino,
            closes #2606)
