Describe the bug

Haunt seems to create double entries in multiple json files:

My ~/.haunt directory:

# pwd
/home/rubin/.haunt
# ls -l

Steps To Reproduce

Configure haunt.nvim, use static bookmarks location ~/.haunt
Make a few bookmarks
Observe double entries in separate files?

Expected Behavior

I expect bookmarks to exist in one .json file, or multiple (one per file?) but not the same entries in multiple files.

Repro

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = ".repro"
load(vim.fn.system("curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua"))()

require("lazy.minit").repro({
  spec = {
    { "TheNoeTrevino/haunt.nvim", opts = {} },
    -- add any other plugins here
  },
})

-- Haunt configuration.
local haunt = require('haunt')
local haunt_api = require('haunt.api')
local haunt_picker = require('haunt.picker')

haunt.setup({
  picker = 'fzf'
})

haunt_api.change_data_dir(vim.fn.expand('~/.haunt/'))

vim.keymap.set('n', 'ma', function() haunt_api.annotate() end, { desc = 'Add bookmark' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'md', function() haunt_api.delete() end, { desc = 'Delete bookmark' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mC', function() haunt_api.clear_all() end, { desc = 'Delete all bookmarks' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mp', function() haunt_api.prev() end, { desc = 'Previous bookmark' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mn', function() haunt_api.next() end, { desc = 'Next bookmark' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mt', function() haunt_api.toggle_annotation() end, { desc = 'Toggle bookmark inline annotation message' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mT', function() haunt_api.toggle_all_lines() end, { desc = 'Toggle all bookmark inline annotation messages' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mQ', function() haunt_api.to_quickfix({ current_buffer = true }) end, { desc = 'Send bookmarks to Quickfix (buffer)' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mq', function() haunt_api.to_quickfix() end, { desc = 'Send bookmarks to Quickfix (all)' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'my', function() haunt_api.yank_locations({ current_buffer = true }) end, { desc = 'Send bookmarks to Clipboard (buffer)' })
vim.keymap.set('n', 'mY', function() haunt_api.yank_locations() end, { desc = 'Send bookmarks to Clipboard (all)' })
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>m', function() haunt_picker.show({ prompt = 'Bookmarks> ' }) end, { desc = 'Show bookmark picker' })

Actually, this is worse than originally documented: When nvim closes, and/or restarts, then listing your bookmarks, lists the bookmarks from just one of these files. I just restarted with the above, and only two bookmarks show up, instead of all four.

Okay, I have pinpointed the issue. It happens when either you switch branches, or :cd into a different directory. Basically any context change. The in memory bookmarks don't 'know' that the context has changed, and will save to that new context.

I have to think about how I am going to want to solve this. The directory switch fix is going to be simple, but I need to think about how git branch changes are going to be picked up. I don't know if I am going to want to check if the branch has changed on every single save. I will revisit this soon!
