Gustavo Niemeyer 400d7772cc misc/vim: Document better syntax sync parameter
Forcing the synchronization of 500 lines is both slower and
less precise than searching for a known sync point.
Unfortunately, though, the way to synchronize correctly is
using the grouphere instruction, which has a bug.

I've already proposed the fix to Vim, so future releases
should have this working.  We can continue using the 500 lines
syncing for now.

This change just documents the proper way to sync.

Vim syntax highlighting for Go (http://golang.org)
==================================================

To install automatic syntax highlighting for GO programs:

  1. Copy or link the filetype detection script to the ftdetect directory
     underneath your vim runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/ftdetect)
  2. Copy or link syntax/go.vim to the syntax directory underneath your vim
     runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/syntax). Linking this file rather
     than just copying it will ensure any changes are automatically reflected
     in your syntax highlighting.
  3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc):

     syntax on

In a typical unix environment you might accomplish this using the following
commands:

  mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/ftdetect
  mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax
  ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/ftdetect/gofiletype.vim $HOME/.vim/ftdetect/
  ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/syntax/go.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax
  echo "syntax on" >> $HOME/.vimrc


Vim filetype plugins for Go
===========================

To install one of the available filetype plugins for Go:

  1. Same as 1 above.
  2. Copy or link one or more plugins from ftplugin/go/*.vim to the
     Go-specific ftplugin directory underneath your vim runtime directory
     (normally $HOME/.vim/ftplugin/go/*.vim).
  3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc):

     filetype plugin on
