I suggested the hash approach only because (1) it is easier to read than two regexp matches that are split only to keep the line less than 80-chars long, and (2) a misconfiguration like "color.foo = fred" can be caught more easily. I do not quite understand the "after all, we're pattern matching" part, though. Are you talking about "split(/\s+/, $str)" your for-loop iterates over? - 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
