Subject: Possible bug in referenced configuration file loading
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 09:30:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAM-9DY2KVjq2879TJUNhBsRBbAjScMS7U5scP-fAY0NsvCan9A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Configuration for global ignore patterns in ~/.config/git/config:

[core]
    excludesfile = .gitignore

doesn't get looked up per default in ~/.config/git/ which might be
considered a bug as the .gitignore file isn't loaded. It's only loaded
when .gitignore is located in $HOME or explicitly referenced via
~/.config/git/.gitignore.

Configuration for a conditional include also in ~/.config/git/config:

[includeIf "gitdir:~/Work/git-repos/"]
    path = .oss-gitconfig

does get looked up per default in ~/.config/git/ and  therefor the
.oss-gitconfig is loaded.

So there seems to be a difference in Git's configuration loading strategies.

Environment details:

macOS High Sierra
git version 2.19.1

Windows 10
git version 2.16.1.windows.2
