You observe that the command refuses to work when the variable is set to an empty string--why then can you claim "filter can be disabled if set to an empty string"? I'd consider that the system is not working with such a configuration, i.e. "filter cannot be disabled by setting it to empty; such a request will result in an error". > Teach Git to consider an empty clean/smudge filter as legitimately disabled > and do not print an error message. On the other hand, this does make sense to me, as I do not think of a good way to say "earlier configuration entry said we should use this filter, but we actually do not want to use that one (or any)" because a configuration, unlike attributes entry, cannot be reset. The closest you can do is to set it to empty, so it may be a good new feature to do this. -- 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
