Emacs supports 'directory classes', which let you say things like
(dir-locals-set-directory-class (expand-file-name "~/a/b/c") 'gnu
(dir-locals-set-directory-class (expand-file-name "~/x/y/z") 'linux)
(dir-locals-set-directory-class (expand-file-name "~/foo/bar") 'otbs)
and then you can say e.g.
(dir-locals-set-class-variables
'gnu '((c-mode . ((c-file-style . "gnu")
(fill-column . 80)
(sentence-end-double-space . t)
(indent-tabs-mode . t)))))
to set variables in each class to your heart's content, without any need
to touch the directories themselves.
