Hi there,
I might have stumbled over a bug in includeIf / conditional includes or maybe it's just as intended.
Current configuration which finds the conditional configuration.
~/.gitconfig
[includeIf "gitdir:~/Work/git-repos/oss/"]
  path = ~/Work/git-repos/oss/.oss-gitconfig
Expected configuration which doesn't find the conditional configuration:
~/.gitconfig
[includeIf "gitdir:~/Work/git-repos/oss/"]
  path = .oss-gitconfig
Best regards,
Raphael Stolt
