Just for some background, I think that this issue might be an unintended consequence of this commit: b99b5b40cffb5269e4aa38b6b60391b55039e27d The only reason that the git_config call has been added is to ensure the correct setting of core.autocrlf before convert_to_working_tree is called on any blobs. I haven't looked in detail, but would moving this call later make for an cleaner change? -- Charles Bailey http://ccgi.hashpling.plus.com/blog/ -- 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
