Thanks a lot. By the way, I plan on documenting existing environmental variables used by git better (for after 1.5.3). First, separate "Environmental variables" section in Documentation/git.txt into separate file (similar to the config.txt file), named environment.txt. Second, add to the list of variables links to variables which are documented in other manpages, similarly to how for example GIT_AUTHOR_NAME etc. are described. Then add one by one environmental variables which are not documented at all: GIT_SSH_PUSH/GIT_SSH_PULL, GIT_CURL_VERBOSITY, GIT_REFLOG_ACTION, GIT_GRAFT_FILE and GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR. -- Jakub Narebski Poland
