Hi,

I'm used to svn to use svn:propset to set bugtraq URLs, pus^H^H^Hcommit 
them to the server and all users who clo^H^H^Hcheckout from it have the 
settings.

In git I can store them in my local or repository specific 
configuration, but other users who clone from it don't benefit from it: 
they simply don't get my/the bugtraq configuration.

Do I need to educate every developer to configure their checkouts (also 
unsatisfying for myself when I move somewhere else have to do clone my 
repository again) or it possible to feed it when the repository is being 
cloned?

thanks,
- Markus

Perhaps 'git notes' is what you're looking for?

This is horrible practice, but the top level makefile / configure of
some of my projects force the git configuration of the repository to
some sane values that are required for it to work properly.
