Yes, I had a similar problem a while ago (which I sent an RFC patch for) which shows a script you can use: https://public-inbox.org/git/20180103102840.27897-1-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ It would be nice if this were configurable. Instead of the way you suggested, it would be more general if we supported: [Include "remote:git@xxxxxxxxxx:theorganization*"] path = theorganization.config Although I'm sure we'd have some interesting chicken & egg problems there when it comes to bootstrapping the config parsing.
