Subject: Multiple paths in GIT_EXEC_PATH
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 18:21:22 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+A=rXEyQ4aQL=p55f_+kbbrnDyDr9ULSq9gqBE2YE9y6+oJ3w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello. After updating to a recent git release (2.14, I believe, but
possibly earlier), setting GIT_EXEC_PATH to multiple directories
stopped working. It did work before, and I believe the culprit is
'git-sh-setup', which uses 'git --exec-path' output directly, while
most other git components observe PATH syntax, i.e. multiple paths
with colon separator. Is this intended, or is it an oversight?

For why I need that is another matter. Long story short, I need git to
look for '.gitignore' in a particular non-standard location, since I
have multiple git repositories in the same workdir (that workdir being
$HOME and git repositories being stores for my different configs)
