But did we reach a decision on having a > configuration variable? I am not sure, but I will say I would prefer not to have one. Surely we can come up with a UI that does not require searching through git-config(1) to be made convenient. Couldn’t we just add the option (with test and documentation) first, to get some experience with how we end up using the two forms? If --full-tree does become the default, I think it should be in 1.7.0, when it is expected for some habits to break (with a configuration variable for the transition, I guess). This might be okay, since constructions like 'git grep foo -- "./*.h"' should still work. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
