I have let g:startify_change_to_vcs_root = 1 and thought I could list all recent files from that VCS project like so:
let g:startify_lists = [
\ { 'type': 'dir', 'header': [' Recent files in project '. fnamemodify(getcwd(), ':t')] },
\ ]
But getcwd() is not vcs_root but the current directory (suppose I am in a subfolder of the project).
Suggestion add an additional type 'vcs' (instead of 'dir' here) that lists recent files from the latest edited VCS project.
