Subject: [Feature request] git config - includeif - resolve symlinks using realpath
Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2024 01:20:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44a24958-ba39-47aa-a15b-61b13cc8b62a@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello

It will be useful if the path in includeIf "gitdir" uses the resolved path.

For example, in the following snippet, ~/Documents/Git/Wiki is symlinked 
to several different locations. When using git from other locations, the 
following won't get included. I verified this using `git config --list 
--show-origin --show-scope`

```
[includeIf "gitdir:~/Documents/Git/Wiki/"]
	path = ~/Documents/Git/Wiki/.gitconfig
```

Feature request: Please resolve the path, before using it.

Thanks and Regards

Lamy
