When giving the set command to change some option and you’re outside an open
repo directory, the global setting is affected instead, even though the
–-global option is not given.
So, one can very easily mess up their global setup by accidentally attempting
to set a local option but either from the wrong directory or from right
directory but with the repo being closed at the moment.
I think the –-global option should be required at all times to change the
global version of the option as a safeguard against these kinds of mistakes.
Besides, the help screen seem to imply the same by not being clear about what
happen when a repo is not open.
Options:
--global set or unset the given property globally instead of
setting or unsetting it for the open repository only.
