These pages worth a read:

I think putting local variables for every file in the tree it's a
non-scalable solution, as we can put them in a single place. With
dirvars.el it's a matter of adding .emacs-dirvars containing local
variable to the root of the project.

Don't know about vi, after all we are all using emacs, aren't we? :)
