The "lengthy thread" look lengthier than necessary because it has a more-or-less unrelated side topic ("where is $HOME on Windows"), but I think the main point by WIncent is that onus lies on whoever repeats the previous discussion to provide what is different in this round to convince others to read the patch. For example, this http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/106657 was not answered by you in the previous round, and I do not think this round is any different. I personally find that between what Wincent presented in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/106673 as "Something like either ... or ...", the first one that shows the actual configuration file contents and then mention 'git config' a good enough compromise.
