For example, this config: [color] ui = true ui = false is different than this: [color] ui = false ui = true While that seems like a contrived example, consider something like a .git/config repo-specific config file overriding a user-wide ~/.gitconfig file. We do it by overwriting the old key. There are also some "multi" values which accept multiple entries to create a list, and the list order may be relevant (I'd have to check, though; the only one that comes to mind is refspecs, and I don't know that order matters there). -Peff -- 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
