I don't. What's wrong with the simple approach of a single config file? You can use a single tool for all the configuration, and do not need to care about anything. After all, it is about _configuration_, not data storing. That is what $GIT_DIR/objects is for. > And it'd be nice if it was configurable through an environment variable, > e.g., GIT_USER_CONFIG_HOME. <sarcasm ignore=if-possible> Let's see. AFAIK all programs I know (including cvs and vim, for one) have a fixed name. Hmm. Perhaps this is for a reason? Like, to reduce confusion? Alternatively, we could introduce a config variable "core.globalConfig" to see where the global config is. </sarcasm> Ciao, Dscho - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
