vimdir for project-specific vim settings
Sometimes it feels that each project I work on has different indentation settings. Not quite true but still annoying. I don't know of a way to tell vim to auto-detect the indentation settings based on the current file (which, for X.Org projects wouldn't work anyway) but what has been incredibly useful is the vimdir script.
It simply scans the directory tree upwards to find a .vimdir file and loads the settings from there. So I keep files like this around:

It's worth noting that that plugin will execute arbitrary code, so you may wish to avoid it if you ever checkout code written by naughty people.
I found this solution useful:

I have this in my ~/.vimrc
autocmd BufRead * silent %g/→ /set noexpandtab
autocmd BufRead * silent %g/^ \+{$→ /set cinoptions={.5s,:.5s,+.5s,t0,g0,^-2,e-2,n-2,p2s,(0,=.5s
autocmd BufRead * silent %g/.*if .*) {$→/set cinoptions=:0,l1,t0,g0,{s
(where → is a tab character)
It's not perfect but it helps quite a bit.
I often include a .vimrc in the root of my projects. This vimdir script is pretty close to exactly what I wanted. Sadly it expects a .vimdir file and not a .vimrc

@Ciaran: that's what |:sandbox| should prevent. It allows just limited set of options.
I think the best solution is to have in your ~/.vim/bundle git repo submodule (you have your ~/.vim/bundle in git repo, right? You should) https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc
Works just fine.
