I am _strongly_ opposed to all that rubbish. _If_ we want to use repo-config to preformat the config variables, we should either 1) just use "git repo-config -l" and STFU, or 2) introduce something like "--dump" which Eric implemented. Everything else is just _complicating_ matters, and for _what_? _Nothing_ at all. If we use repo-config for that task, it should cater for parsing by _script languages_, not _users_. I work with XML everyday. It has its uses. But this here problem is _not_ one of them. How silly would that be: we parse an easy-to-read format, munge the easy-to-handle internal data format into another "easy-to-read" format which is then parsed by a script language into an easy-to-handle internal data format? No. NO. Ciao, Dscho P.S.: The more I think about it, we should just use the output of "repo-config -l". - 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
