Great. I'm glad I misunderstood, and thank you for correcting me.

Opening a file in a subdirectory of a repository root does not
associate it with a project. I suspect this is a bug in this "proof of
concept" implementation more so than a conceptual problem, though :-)
Thank you for providing an example implementation.

If I understand this right, this looks good.
I'm a bit unsure about requiring EDE, CEDET, etc. for this - it's not
unlikely that people will go "meh" and not use it because of that. (I'm
sorry to say so, but the complexity of CEDET is a recurring theme on the
Emacs IRC channel.)
So in the end, what we need for trivial implementation:
- Provide a default "simple project" that auto-detects the root via
VCS markers
- Define a (project-root) that simply returns (and
ede-object-root-project (ede-project-root-directory
ede-object-root-project))
- Define a (project-set-root DIR) that does (oset this :file DIR) for
the current project. If there is no current project, this should
create a "simple project" for that directory so other uses of
(project-root) will find it.
- Ask authors of extensions to use (ede-minor-mode 1) in their mode
function and simply use that function in their modes.
Does this sound sensible?
