[R] Project in emacs + ess

[Eric Berger]

Not exactly sure what you are looking for but here is my workflow which may
give you another perspective
1. my OS is linux
2. I edit my files in emacs (with ESS pulled in)
3. I use make (and Makefile) to compile .o's and .so's from .cpp where
necessary (i.e. I use Rcpp etc)
    (and also to build server.R and ui.R from smaller .R's for my shiny app)
4. I kick off RStudio in what you would call the "project" directory and
use source() commands as appropriate
    (For a given project I would generally have a small script that I
source as the first command in RStudio.)

This gives me the power of the various components
    linux - make, git, shell scripts, etc
    emacs - great editor
    RStudio - for debugging, testing etc

I definitely do not claim my workflow is optimal and am certainly open -
and curious - to understand your proposed workflow.

Regards,
Eric
