How would we run our tests without getting screwed by whatever non-standard values system-wide configuration may have? Currently we disable tester's ~/.gitconfig by exporting HOME from t/test-lib.sh, but that will not work for this. I think we need to have a way to disable this setting, perhaps via an environment variable. I do not think we need to support 'git config --system --set foo.bar baz' but some people might have twisted minds ;-). - 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 Thu Feb 15 06:44:03 2007
