[ctags] search all tags from top directory to end

ctags use

project                     
  `-----misccomp            
  |       `...              
  `-----sysint              
          `-----client      
          |       `-----hdrs
          |       `-----lib 
          |       `-----src 
          |       `-----test
          `-----common      
          |       `-----hdrs
          |       `-----lib 
          |       `-----src 
          |       `-----test
          `-----server      
                  `-----hdrs
                  `-----lib 
                  `-----src 
                  `-----test

cd project

ctags -R

then add this to .vimrc (/ect/vim/vimrc)

set tags=tags;

the magic is the ‘;’ at end. it will make vim tags file search go up from current directory until it finds one.
