[PATCH 21/21] git p4: introduce gitConfigBool

From
PWPete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com>
Date
Sep 28, 2012, 12:04 UTC
Message-ID
<1348833865-6093-22-git-send-email-pw@padd.com>
In-Reply-To
<1348833865-6093-1-git-send-email-pw@padd.com>

Make the intent of "--bool" more obvious by returning a direct True or False value. Convert a couple non-bool users with obvious bool intent.
