Subject: [PATCH] repo_config_values: freeze the structure for now
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:52:10 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqq1p917kwl.fsf@gitster.g> (raw)

The configuration and settings per repository is currently in an
unfortunate mess.  Especially given that repo_config_values() cannot
work on any repository instance other than the_repository, moving
more members into this structure is unwelcome.

Acked-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
