I do not think anybody said it is supposed to fail in this case. Historically, we always allowed single level names in our configuration parser, at least for reading, from pretty much day one, I think. The documentation only talks about two and three level names, because we do not use such a name ourselves in the code, and the behaviour for a single level name is just "undefined", which is very different from "must fail". -- 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
