[VM] buffer-modified flags

[Uday Reddy]

Over time, the buffer-modified flags of VM (the "*" or "**" indicators
on the modeline that say whether a buffer has been modified) have become
chaotic.

It seems to me that the only modifications that matter are the
modifications to the folder. And, that information should be shown in
both the Summary and Presentation buffers. In other words, the Summary
and Presentation buffers shouldn't maintain their own buffer-modified flags.

What do you think?

Cheers,

I think what you say makes a lot of sense!

Yeah, that’s exactly the right approach.
