Do the tests pass with this patch? The patch changes the current behavior indeed, but it does not break any of the existing tests. Anyway, to be on the safe side, I could load only the core.submodulesFile option from the global configuration, maybe even in config_from_gitmodules() itself, before accessing the gitmodules file, but I still don't know how to do that. Is there an API to just load one config setting? Ciao, Antonio -- Antonio Ospite https://ao2.it https://twitter.com/ao2it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
