[PATCH] branch: support configuring --sort via .gitconfig

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Samuel Maftoul <samuel.maftoul@xxxxxxxxx>

Add support for configuring default sort ordering for git branches. Command
line option will override this configured value, using the exact same
syntax.
