Frequent overwrite warnings while editing 3-way

[adamwight]

I'm seeing errors every time I switch between a web editor and nvim, with a third IntelliJ editor idling in the background.

WARNING: The file has been changed since reading it!!!
Do you really want to write to it (y/n)?

Steps to reproduce:

• Clone github repo from floobits browser.
• Clone repo using PHPStorm and join the floobits workspace.
• Join workspace from web editor.
• Join workspace from nvim, using the remote URL.
• Make edits in nvim.
• Switch to the web editor, then back to nvim.

It looks like nvim is able to detect that the local clone is in ~/PhpstormProjects, and edits there. My wild guess is that the local processes are contending for access or modification time.

This is an edge case, but not totally unreasonable--I can imagine wanting to edit in nvim and PHPStorm at the same time to take advantage of their strengths, and meanwhile connecting to a group Floo.

It would be fine to clone two separate repos and use the local editors on different copies, using Floo for synchronization--but floobits-neovim seems to insist on reusing PHPStorm's checkout. I haven't figured out how nvim discovers that local path.

I tried this simple workaround, but still unable to set things up with two local editors:

• Rename the repo at the cached path, in this case mv ~/PhpstormProjects/proj1 to a new location.
• Restart nvim and issue :FlooJoinWorkspace https://floobits.com/adamwight/photo-booth/
• You will be prompted to enter a path:

Save workspace files to: /home/you/proj1

• Enter a new path that won't conflict with IntelliJ or your secondary editor.

The gotcha is that PHPStorm will now use nvim's project directory when trying to re-join the workspace.
