From https://gist.github.com/tejr/5890634:

'viminfo' is a global setting, so this permanently clobbers 'viminfo'
when the autocmd fires.

I think Joakim Reinert's suggestion is simple and effective. Advanced
vim users will know how to tweak his one-liner to taste, and novice
users benefit from the ease of copying and pasting a single line.
