So, I set the wrong value for a configuration option, and git tells me:
$ git config branch.autoSetupRebase false
$ git log
error: malformed value for branch.autosetuprebase
fatal: bad config variable 'branch.autosetuprebase' in file '.git/config' at
line 24
That's fine. However, when trying to look for help, it is not that
useful:
$ git config --help
error: malformed value for branch.autosetuprebase
fatal: bad config variable 'branch.autosetuprebase' in file '.git/config' at
line 24
Perhaps it should allow "--help" to go through even if the
configuration is bad?
After a "git config --unset branch.autosetuprebase" everything works
again, but I had to look that up manually calling "man git-config"
(afterwards I realized I could go out of the repo to be unaffected
by the config, but that probably wouldn't have helped if I had put
this in my global config).
