These two patches introduce the long awaited global config. Thanks to Paksy for pushing and starting it.
The first patch only does the reading part, while the second introduces the --no-local flag to git-repo-config.
There are three subjects for discussion:
- The name. I personally prefer .gitconfig, since we talk about the repo config all the time. But I have no strong feelings there.
- The --no-local flag could be implemented more cleanly, but also less elegantly, by introducing git_config_set_multivar_in_file(). I hesitated to do that, because there would be even more places replicating the global / local path resolution.
- With this, repo-config does no longer merit its name. What do people think about making it a builtin named "git config"? (Of course, nothing hinders us to keep the synonymous "repo-config" indefinitely...)
Ciao, Dscho
