Derrick (CC'ed), thoughts? I'm not Stolee, but isn't this what 'git config --fixed-value' is for? ISTM that what is written here (writing the cwd into 'expect', and then comparing it to the value of maintenance.repo) is correct, but I think it may be unnecessarily verbose. I.e., wouldn't the following do the trick? - git config --get --global maintenance.repo "$(pwd)" && + git config --get --fixed-value --global maintenance.repo "$(pwd)" && Thanks, Taylor
