IOW this is how this new feature would fit in: |--------+--------+----------+----------+------------------+----| | | gitdir | gitdir/i | onbranch | hasconfig:remote | os | |--------+--------+----------+----------+------------------+----| | icase? | N | Y | N | N | Y | | glob? | Y | Y | Y | Y | N | | path? | Y | Y | Y | Y | N | |--------+--------+----------+----------+------------------+----| I think at least flipping that "glob" to "Y" so you could match e.g. "*BSD" would be useful, and easier to explain in context, rather than why the rest use wildmatch() and this doesn't. For matching the uname the case doesn't really matter, but for consistency of the interface I think making it case-sensitive or adding an "os/i" would make sense. I.e. let's consistently use "/i" if & when something's case-insensitive. > +test_expect_success '[includeIf "os:..."]' ' > + test_config x.y 0 && > + echo "[x] y = z" >.git/xyz && > + > + if test_have_prereq MINGW > + then > + uname_s=Windows > + else > + uname_s="$(uname -s)" > + fi && > + test_config "includeIf.os:not-$uname_s.path" xyz && > + test 0 = "$(git config x.y)" && > + test_config "includeIf.os:$uname_s.path" xyz && > + test z = "$(git config x.y)" > +' As I pointed out in the v1, this still: * Hides segfaults in "git config", let's check the exit code. * Doesn't test the "icase" semantics you're introducing. Let's do that if it's intentional.
