Thanks, this looks great! I'll have a play with it tomorrow.

Would locally configured config options override this one? From a
quick read of the patch there doesn't look like there is a way of
turning this off for a specific repository, but perhaps that is
unnecessary. I think after a bit of use the edge cases will be a bit
clearer.

Again thanks, this will scratch an itch I didn't even realise I had.
