Actually, I'd also say that what needs to be changed is on the .gitattributes side, not on the .gitconfig side. Another option would be zsh-style globbing, like: # any symbolic link *(@) diff=link # Symbolic links named *.pdf *.pdf(@) (except that * means "all" to zsh, and should mean "regular" to Git). But OTOH, that's a lot of work to implement, for very little benefit. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
