I second that. Using an environment variable means having a configuration which is about git in my shell's config file, and that's a source of a lot of troubles. Murphy's law implies that one day, the environment variable won't be set properly (because you changed your shell, because you launch git from something which isn't a shell, because you logged-in in a way that didn't read the config file in which the variable was set, ...). I can do with it, like many other software require an environment variable, but I find the symlink trick much more robust. -- Matthieu - 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
