Hi, Dear diary, on Thu, Nov 02, 2006 at 11:40:23AM CET, I got a letter where Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@xxxxxxx> said that... > I found minor problems with the doc, which deserve to be fixed: > > * http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/docs/cg-commit.1.html > Mentions .git/config, but not ~/.gitconfig (which is indeed _the_ > place where I think most people want to set their name and email). thanks for pointing this out, further releases will mention both. > Side note: it can be interesting to have a command to do this. > For example, bzr has "bzr whoami 'me <myself@xxxxxxxxx>'", which > avoids having to learn the config file syntax. Yes, you are certainly not the first to wish this, I'm seriously thinking about introducing cg-admin-config for setting the most common configuration variables. Moreover, I'm more and more thinking about removing the fallback on guessing based on /etc/passwd and hostname. _Many_ people were and will be burnt by it, and I think it's more sane to require the user to confirm once what the valid credentials are (at _that_ point it's ok to guess, but the user has to confirm it) than let them unconsciously do 200 commits with completely bogus author lines. What do the Git people think? Perhaps we could introduce GIT_NO_GUESS environment variable which will prevent var.c from guessing? > * RSS link on the wiki: > The URL > http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc&ddiffs=1&unique=1 > seems to be working as an RSS feed for changes, but it's not linked > to by http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/RecentChanges.
