I was playing with a hook for file size limits that wanted to store the limit in git-config. It turns out we don't do a very good job of big integers: $ git config foo.size 2g $ git config --int foo.size -2147483648 Oops. After this series, we properly notice the error: $ git config --int foo.size fatal: bad config value for 'foo.size' in .git/config and even better, provide a way to access large values: $ git config --ulong foo.size 2147483648 The patches are: [1/2]: config: properly range-check integer values [2/2]: teach git-config to output large integers -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
