here? Have you tested Git::Config with a "null" value, i.e. something
like

    [section]
        noval

in the config file (which evaluates to 'true' with '--bool' option)?
Because from what I remember from the discussion on the "git config --null --list" format the lack of "\n" is used to
distinguish between noval (which is equivalent to 'true'), and empty
value (which is equivalent to 'false')

    [boolean
        noval        # equivalent to 'true'
        empty1 =     # equivalent to 'false'
        empty2 = ""  # equivalent to 'false'

I do not mind if the _write method always wrote out

	[core]
        	autocrlf = true

for a variable that is true, but it should be able to read existing

	[core]
        	autocrlf

correctly.

Yep - that's what I thought was reasonable behaviour as well and what my submission does.

Sam, I think you meant to make me squash the "Oops, for no good reason,
here is a fix-up" into the previous one, but for this case, I'd appreciate
a re-roll of the series, that includes a test to read from an existing
configuration file that contains such "presense of the name alone means
boolean true" variables.

Sure, I rebased the series to have the fix-ups at the right places, but didn't think it was an interesting enough change to rate a full re-submission. The series at git://github.com/samv/git branch perl-Config has the minor change put into the place it was introduced. I put a little note to this effect after the --- line.

I'm not quite sure what you want squashed where, maybe just edit the below list to be how you'd like it,

pick d43238e perl: add new module Git::Config for cached 'git config' access
pick 5ea135d perl: make Git.pm use new Git::Config module
pick b2865bc perl: make Git::Config use --null
pick 28eecdc perl: fix no value items in Git::Config

:-)

Sam
