Hi,
I'm running into issue that if I run `git -C <pwd/to/showmax/project> config --global user.email` I don't get expected email. Expected: tomas.prochazka@showmax.com Got: tomas.prochazka5d@gmail.com
My config contains a little catch:
~/.gitconfig
```
[user]
name = Tomáš Procházka
email = tomas.prochazka5d@gmail.com[includeIf "gitdir:~/Workspace/Showmax/"]
path = ~/Workspace/Showmax/.gitconfig
```
~/Workspace/Showmax/.gitconfig
```
[user]
name = Tomáš Procházka
email = tomas.prochazka@showmax.com
```I get correct email setting if I run command without `--global` flag. But What I understand from the [`git-config` docs](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_description) if no flag is passed the values are read from system, global and local.
If I run commands one by one, No returns the ~correct~ expected email:
~ $ git -C <pwd/to/showmax/project> config --system user.email ~ $ git -C <pwd/to/showmax/project> config --global user.email tomas.prochazka5d@gmail.com ~ $ git -C <pwd/to/showmax/project> config --local user.email
Am I missing something? Thanks for the answer.
