On boolean configuration variables...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Boolean configuration variables in $GIT_DIR/config are a bit
strange.

	[bool]
        	var1
                var2 =
                var3 = true
                var4 = yes
                var5 = 1
                var6 = 2
                var7 = false
                var8 = no
                var9 = 0

var1, var3, var5, and var6 are "true"; var2, var7 and var9 are
"false".  var4 and var8 are syntax errors.

Currently "git repo-config --bool --get bool.var1" returns
"false", which is fixed by the attached patch, but I am
wondering if it is a good idea to allow "yes" and "no" as well.

[PATCH] repo-config: fix printing of bool

When a bool variable appears without any value, it means true.
However, replacing the NULL value with an empty string, an earlier
commit f067a13745fbeae1aa357876348a00e5edd0a629 broke show-config.
