Good point, and looking at the code "log.decorate" only has an affect after cmd_log_init() is called, which is call by cmd_whatchanged(), cmd_show(), cmd_log_reflog() and cmd_log() so only those command are affected (notably not format-patch). However if thats not disirable, we could always add 'whatchanged.decorate', 'show.decorate' and reflog.decorate'. > > +log.decorate:: > > + Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log > > + command.

While on the subject of git_config I think die_bad_config() should be an extern (i.e. decleared in cache.h and a static function) so that it could be used in git_XXX_config functions for handling error.
