Subject: git cvsimport and case-insensitive config
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:32:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <hoscv7$hmn$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
Hello all,
I just noticed that there's an annoying buglet in the way git cvsimport
stores its configuration and the case-insensitive key lookup done by git.
git cvsimport looks for cvsimport.* single-letter keys that match the
command-line option (e.g. cvsimport.r for -r). However, since there are some
single-letter options which only differ by case (a vs A, r vs R) if you set
either you get annoying messages (and potentially also odd results, although
I haven't come across these yet).
I come with no patch because I'm not really sure what would be the best
approach at fixing this. Changing the way cvsimport matches config to
command-line options? An option to make git-config case-sensitive re. key
names? Something else?
