Subject: [PATCH] Update Documentation/git-config to reflect --local option.
Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 00:44:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1754870.q6d2rgDqBT@flobuntu> (raw)
Describe config file selection in git-config.
While the usage message of git-config shows --local,
the documentation page did not contain anything about that.
