But the current intent indeed is to simply override the location for git-repo-config, thus for the current purposes if we will have --config-file instead of GIT_CONFIG_FILE, I will not weep; whatever does the job. > Note that this issue is orthogonal to the need for a user-specific config > file. I still think that this one should go in. I agree as well. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ A person is just about as big as the things that make them angry.
