Repeating the last line for each type you want to fix the pointers for. There may be a simpler way to do some of this, but I don't know it. But once it's set up each time you type in "char* var", Vim will auto-correct to "char *var".

Changing this to operate only in C, or only if you're starting in your git repository is left as an exercise for the reader. ;-)
