Subject: [PATCH] Make git config fail on variables with no section, as documented
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:18:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1248625102-472-1-git-send-email-alex@chmrr.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1248474081-sup-2762@utwig>

Documentation/config.txt claims:

    Each variable must belong to some section, which means that there
    must be a section header before the first setting of a variable.

However, the parsing code did not enforce this.  This change makes it
a syntax error to defined a variable before the first section header.
