# [PATCH] git config: clarify bool types 1 messages from 2009-10-24 to 2009-10-24. Participants: Felipe Contreras. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/21343 ## Felipe Contreras, 2009-10-24 08:39 Subject: [PATCH] git config: clarify bool types Message-ID: <1256373545-15588-1-git-send-email-felipe.contreras@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1256373545-15588-1-git-send-email-felipe.contreras%40gmail.com ``` The value is what it is, the --bool and --bool-or-int options don't specify the value type, just how it is interpreted. For example: a value of '1' can be interpreted as 'true'. Comments by Michael J Gruber.
