Hi Rich,

It's possible on a per-repository basis, as I pointed out in the last
email; but no- I don't think it's possible on a per-directory basis
within the same repository. You might consider separting your private
work from your company's repository.

p.s- I think you've used the term "global" incorrectly here. Global
configuration applies to all repositories. Per-repository
configuration overrides the global configuration for that repository.
