I knew this can be done, and you are capable of doing this, but I was wondering if it is a good thing to do in the first place. Site-wide configuration for options that are potentially compatibility-breaking is a bad idea on a multi-user machines, and it was certainly the case back when our machines hosted many diverse set of people. But these days many machines are practically single-user and many more are owned by a single group/project that share the same policy. So in such a setting, /etc/gitconfig might not be too bad. - 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
