Hi,
this is the fifth version of my patch series which aims to implement a
way to pass config entries via the environment while avoiding any
requirements to perform shell quoting on the user's side.
Changes in this version include:
- I've adopted Jeff's patches to make GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS more
robust by using quoting for both key and value of the config
entry. This allows to store entries which for example have an
equals sign in their key.
- I've replaced the documentation of `git --config-env` by Ævar's,
which was much better.
- I've amended the documentation of GIT_CONFIG_COUNT to document the
intended usecase.
The series is structured as following:
- Patch 1 is a while-at-it patch for the `--super-prefix` usage
string which was missing in `git --help`.
- Patch 2 implements `git --config-env`.
- Patch 3-6 implement robust handling of GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS.
- Patch 7-8 implement GIT_CONFIG_COUNT handling.
As before, if the GIT_CONFIG_COUNT code is unwanted, please feel free to
cut off after the 6th patch.
