Subject: Bug: 'git config --local user.email=<alt.email>' fails silently?
Date: Sun, 02 Apr 2017 07:47:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1491112043.5830.11.camel@oracle.com> (raw)

Hi,

From the documentation I would have expected 

git config --local user.email=alt.email@alt.domain

to create a section 

[user]
	email=alt.email@alt.domain

in the local .git/config.

Instead it returns status 1 with no error message.

Is this intentional?

If I add the [user] section manually, it works as expected/desired:
my commits in that tree uses the alternate mail address.

git --version
git version 2.7.4

Thanks,
Knut Omang
