I think that the patch relies on that os.path.expanduser(), if url.path is such a path that begins with "~" (or "~whom"), returns an absolute path. When given an absolute path, or "~whom/path", fix_path returns without running 'git config' on remote.<alias>.url configuration. Presumably this "git config" is to "fix" what is already there, and in the case where the path is already absolute (e.g. "/home/ap/hgrepo" as opposed to "~ap/hgrepo") the resulting repository has a correct value for the variable set already without the need to fix it (that is why the original code just returns from the function), so doing the same for "~whom" case with this patch should leave the setting, which presumably is "hg::~ap/hgrepo"? -- 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
