As a result, all files under `~/.vim` will be managed by
dotdrop (including unwanted directories like `spell`, `swap`, etc).
Let's say only `after`, `plugin`, `snippets`, and `vimrc` need to be managed in
dotdrop. This is where `link_children` shines. Only the children of the managed
`vim` entry will be symlinked without affecting the rest of the local config.
A cleaner solution is to use `link_children` which allows to only symlink specific
files under the dotfile directory. Let's say only `after`, `plugin`, `snippets`, and `vimrc`
need to be managed in dotdrop. `~/.vim` is imported in dotdrop, cleaned off all unwanted
files and directories and then the `link_children` entry is set to `true`.
All children of the `vim` directory in the *dotpath* will be symlinked under `~/.vim/`
without affecting the rest of the local files, keeping the config file clean
and all unwanted files only on the local system.
