Subject: git-config: case insensitivity for subsections
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 23:35:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110818063528.GH13342@hal.rescomp.berkeley.edu> (raw)

In git-config(1):

There is also a case insensitive alternative [section.subsection]
syntax. In this syntax, subsection names follow the same restrictions
as for section names.

If I define [section.SUBSECTION] (aka, not all lowercase), I cannot
use: git config section.SUBSECTION.option, but rather only git config
section.subsection.option. Furthermore, If I also define a [section
"SUBSECTION"], the two sections are not merged.

I believe this differs from the case insensitity that is used for
sections: [section] and [SECTION] would be considered the same section.

Is this the proper behaviour for the case insensititve alternative for
subsections?

Thanks.
