As this thread showed, we can't have a config option for this feature. Were there any other objections to the patch? It looks good to me. Peff also agreed that it was an overall improvement. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/142262 Thread with the latest (v3) version of the patch: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/142436 We could use this feature at Disney Animation as well. We maintain a list of $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES and could do without having to maintain it if we had this feature. Plus, Lars is one of the git users that doesn't even flinch when the Perforce servers at Pixar get a hiccup, so we should try and help our fellow "renegade" git users ;-) -- David -- 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
