nicer install / update resistant:

[Reiner030]

It would be a little more useful if e.g. after:

cd ~/.vim/
git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt-vim.git

symlinks are created for config files instead of copies:

cd salt-vim
ls */* | xargs -I{} ln -s ../salt-vim/{} ../{}

Or manual way:

ln -s ../salt-vim/ftdetect/sls.vim ~/.vim/ftdetect/sls.vim
ln -s ../salt-vim/ftplugin/sls.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/sls.vim
ln -s ../salt-vim/syntax/sls.vim ~/.vim/syntax/sls.vim

The best way, IMO, is to use pathogen to manage your plugins so you don't have to copy the files. You just clone the repo into your bundle directory and vim will find the files there.

That said, if you wanted to add some manual instructions for linking into the readme, we'd accept such a pull request.
