What's the reason behind this?

Yeah, this makes perfect sense now that I think about it. Local should
always win over global if present.

Let me try to explain the problem a little better...
If a global config setting for autosync is not present when fossil new
is issued, line 1009 of db.c will set autosync to 1 in the local config.
"if( !db_is_global("autosync") ) db_set_int("autosync", 1, 0);"
If I later want to set autosync to 0 globally, any previously created
repository has to be manually changed since a local setting is present.
If I create a new repository after globally setting autosync, autosync
is not set in the local config per line 1009.
My question is why is autosync and also localauth explicitly set in the
local repository upon creation? Couldn't they be treated like the other
settings and just have some default in the code base that gets used if
locally or globally they are not set?
Hopefully this will clear things up.
