If we have a proliferation of such options, then we might need config to help turn them on all the time (I'd guess people are probably already using aliases to do this). -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
