It is relatively common for users to maintain identical `~/.gitconfig` files across all of their setups, using the `includeIf` construct liberally to adjust the settings to the respective setup as needed.
In case of Operating System-specific adjustments, Git currently offers no support to the users and they typically use a work-around like this:
[includeIf "gitdir:/home/"] path = ~/.gitconfig-linux [includeIf "gitdir:/Users/"] path = ~/.gitconfig-mac [includeIf "gitdir:C:"] path = ~/.gitconfig-windows
However, this is fragile, as it would not even allow to discern between Operating Systems that happen to host their home directories in `/home/`, such as Linux and the BSDs.
Let's introduce a new condition: `os:<uname-s>` where `<uname-s>` is the system name, i.e. the output of `uname -s`.
This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4125

config: introduce an Operating System-specific includeIf condition
I was about to write up guidelines how to write this patch, but it
turned out that it was much faster to write the patch instead.Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-1429%2Fdscho%2Finclude-if-os-v1 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-1429/dscho/include-if-os-v1 Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/1429
