From: Carlos Martín Nieto Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:22:32 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/config.txt: make truth value of numbers more explicit Message-ID: <1301480552-23940-1-git-send-email-cmn@elego.de> Change the order to 1/0 to have the same true/false order as the rest of the possibilities for a boolean variable in order not not confuse users. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto --- Though if I read the source correctly, anything other than a 0 will give a true result, but it's better if we tell people to use 1.

The values following the equals sign in variable assign are all either a string, an integer, or a boolean. Boolean values may be given as yes/no, -0/1, true/false or on/off. Case is not significant in boolean values, when +1/0, true/false or on/off. Case is not significant in boolean values, when converting value to the canonical form using '--bool' type specifier; 'git config' will ensure that the output is "true" or "false". -- 1.7.4.1
