Vim: Creating parent directories on save

Question

If I invoke vim foo/bar/somefile but foo/bar don\'t already exist, Vim refuses to save.

I know I could switch to a shell or do :!mkdi

Answer 1

I made :saveas! create the directory if missing: https://github.com/henrik/dotfiles/commit/54cc9474b345332cf54cf25b51ddb8a9bd00a0bb
