A configuration variable in the repository configuration take precedence over user preference $HOME/.gitconfig which in turn take precedence over system wide default /etc/gitconfig (or whereever you or your distro decided to place it). In other words, if you have "[receive] denyNonFastForwards" in the system wide default, you can say "[receive] denyNonFastForwards = false" in one particular repository to allow it for that repository. -- 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
