I noticed today while looking at config.c (because of the 'git config oddity' thread) that this reference to GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL was not removed? On latest next: $ grep GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL * config.c: * $GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL will make it process it in addition to the git-svn: my $file = $ENV{GIT_CONFIG} || $ENV{GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL} || git-svn.perl: my $file = $ENV{GIT_CONFIG} || $ENV{GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL} ||

I doubt that this stray comment will hurt anyone, but it's probably nicer not to let cruft like this accumulate, I think?
