+1 vote for this feature from me.  I, too, have similar code in my Emacs
config, and it enables me to survive at work where we have a big
repository in which I often need to "zoom in" to a sub-project.

+1 and I also think that the customization variable should exist as a
list so that one can specify more than one "project stamp" file name.
