I was surprised to see that when using git-init, if the template folder is itself a symlink, then the contents of the template is NOT copied to the resulting git repository, but instead each individual file is symlinked. For my particular use case, this is undesirable (since if I am not careful, then when I change the hook of one git repo, it actually changes the hooks of all other repos too). It is easy enough for me to work around this (i.e. by instead pointing my gitconfig to use a template dir which is not a symlink), but I was wondering weather this is a feature folks use (and for what end), or if this is unintended behavior. Furthermore, would a patch be welcome that either disables this feature through an option (or perhaps permanently by just copying the contents of the symlinked folder instead of creating individual symlinks), or am I the only git user that was surprised by this behavior and wanted to disable it? - Alex -- 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
