Preparing for git 1.7.12 new config file location

By @ch3cooli on August 13, 2012 01:47 (imported from Google Code)


I found this new features in git v1.7.12-rc2 release notes

  • Per-user $HOME/.gitconfig file can optionally be stored in
    $HOME/.config/git/config instead, which is in line with XDG.

  • The value of core.attributesfile and core.excludesfile default to
    $HOME/.config/git/attributes and $HOME/.config/git/ignore respectively
    when these files exist.

If, finally, the formal version of git v1.7.12
and msysgit v1.7.12 include these features, the new paths should also be considered.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
