I do not have problem with this (and would perhaps also want to add '_' to keychar set), but people who envisioned parsing config from scripts (i.e. Perly git) might prefer if we stayed within alnum, since I'd suspect then they may be able to reuse existing .ini parsers. I do not much care about that myself, but I am bringing it up just in case other people might. Other than that, this sounds nice. By the way, everybody seems to do "alias.xxx = -p cat-file -p" (I have it as "git less"). Maybe we would want to make a built-in alias for that? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Oct 31 09:45:31 2006
