But AFAIR nothing > conclusive came out of that thread. I do not remember the thread, but I think that may make sense. "over = 1", "over = true" etc. cannot be canonicalized to "true" without knowing core.over is boolean, but core.over by itself without any assignment cannot be anything but a boolean. Another possibility, though, is to say: core.some\0where\0core.over\0\0core.the\0core.rainbow\0 - 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
