presenting unrelated swap file

[Deleted user]

After loading a file after accidentally killing vim, recover presented me with an irrelevant swap file. swap 1 is correct, swap 2 is not.

Swap File '/Users/me/.vim/tmp/swap//%Users%me%project%btodo.txt.swp' found:
Swap files found:
    In directory ~/.vim/tmp/swap//:
1.     /%Users%me%project%btodo.txt.swp
...
        file name: ~me/projects/todo.txt
...
        user name: me   host name: macmini
...
2.    %Users%r.swp
...
        file name: ~me/tmp/scratch.txt
...
        user name: me   host name: macpro
Enter number of swap file to use (0 or quit):

That might be a Vim bug. The recover plugin does not change, which swap
files are presented to you by Vim.

Best,
