Synchronizing plugins with git submodules and pathogen

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/Dude4Linux/dotvim.git ~/.vim

Create symlink:

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Install vim-nox:

apt-get update
apt-get -y install vim-nox

Switch to the ~/.vim directory, and fetch submodules:

cd ~/.vim
git submodule update --init

Add New Submodule:

cd ~/.vim
git submodule add http://github.com/_path/to/vim-module_.git bundle/_module_
git add .
git commit -m "install _module_.vim bundle as a submodule."

Replace path and module name as appropriate

Update All Submodules:

cd ~/.vim
git pull origin master
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
