Dear Duy,

heaving an includeIf in a git config file breaks calling external git commands, most prominently git-gui.

$ git --version git version 2.12.2.599.gcf11a6797 $ git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree true $ git echo git: 'echo' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this?
    fetch
$ echo '[includeIf "gitdir:does-not-exists"]path = does-not-exists'

>>.git/config

$ git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree true $ git echo fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository

Best, Bert
