As long as we make sure we have knobs for distro packagers and people building from the source to twist so that they can easily name the places they want us to read from and write to, what we decide in-tree does not matter. We default to ~/.gitconfig and /etc/gitconfig as before, and that is perfectly fine. We already have ETC_GITCONFIG, so the only thing it might be nicer to add is the build configurability of ~/.gitconfig file, no? -- 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
