So....I guess. But has anybody in the history of git ever explicitly configured advice.* to true? It has never produced any change of behavior, and the whole point of "advice.*" was that git would advise by default, and you would use advice.* to shut it up once you were sufficiently educated. I don't think doing it this way is _wrong_. It just feels sort of pointlessly over-engineered. It's also a little weird that all of the: if (advice_foo) will trigger because "advice_foo" is set to -1. I think it does the right thing, but it feels like a bug (the value is now a tri-state, and we silently collapse two states into one). -Peff -- 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
