Not me. For that particular use case, my approach (long before I switched the vcs that controls my dotfiles to git) have always been to have ~/src that is version controlled, with a Makefile that builds/adjusts dotfiles appropriately for each box and installs them in the proper place. Of course, if .gitconfig _is_ the same across all boxes I use, that Makefile is likely to "install" by making a symlink ~/.gitconfig that points at src/dot/gitconfig without "building". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
