The long answer is that there are two places "kunitconfig" files are used: as a user-provided file with their preferred test config (which is kept local), and as a recommended test config for a given subsystem (which is checked in). Originally, no .kunitconfig files were checked in: one was either autogenerated or manually modified and left in the root source directory. This eventually moved into the build directory, and a number of features which de-emphasized it in favour of command-line arguments and the (new) checked-in per-subsystem configs, which probably shouldn't be hidden. There's no fundamental reason (other than it being a bit annoying to rename everything and update the code) we can't change it, either for all kunitconfig files, or just the checked-in ones, if that's preferred. -- David
