Hi Thomas,

I just launched SmartGit, and it ate my ~/.gitconfig. Luckily I had a backup (full of my own aliases and colour settings etc.).

SmartGit replaced mine with a ~/.gitconfig containing _only_ my name and email settings. Not good. I would bet that 99% of all people on this list have their own customized version of ~/.gitconfig and SmartGit is probably going to eat it. If it helps, I am running OS X.

James.
