- explicit 'list' gives way to mindmap, ... - 'fm2mt.pl' to produce master-toc.mkd from the mindmap - mkdoc no longer ignores master-toc.mkd, calls fm2mt.pl itself and LOTS of changes to the actual docs

# "git-config" keys and values
|
|
|
|
Here's all you want to know about setting repo-specific git-config values.

The syntax is simple:
|
|
|
|
config sectionname.keyname = [optional value_string]
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
repo gitolite
|
|
config hooks.mailinglist = gitolite-commits@example.tld
|
|
config hooks.emailprefix = "[gitolite] "
|
|
config foo.bar = ""
|
|
config foo.baz =
|
|
|
|
This does either a plain "git config section.key value" (for the first 3
|
|
examples above) or "git config --unset-all section.key" (for the last
|
|
example). Other forms of the `git config` command (`--add`, the
|
|
`value_regex`, etc) are not supported.
|
|

> **WARNING**: simply deleting the config line from the `conf/gitolite.conf`
|
|
> file will *not* delete the variable from `repo.git/config`. The syntax in
|
|
> the last example is the *only* way to make gitolite execute a
|
|
> `--unset-all` operation on the given key.

You can also use the special value `%GL_REPO` in the string to save typing:
|
|
|
|
repo foo bar baz
|
|
config hooks.mailinglist = %GL_REPO-commits@example.tld
|
|
config hooks.emailprefix = "[%GL_REPO] "
|
|
|
|
You can repeat the 'config' line as many times as you like, and the last
|
|
occurrence will be the one in effect. This allows you to override settings
|
|
just for one project, as in this example:
|
|
|
|
repo @all
|
|
config hooks.mailinglist = %GL_REPO-commits@example.tld
|
|
config hooks.emailprefix = "[%GL_REPO] "
|
|
|
|
repo customer-project
|
|
# different mailing list
|
|
config hooks.mailinglist = announce@customer.tld
|
|
|
|
The "delete config variable" syntax can also be used, if you wish:
|
|
|
|
repo secret # no emails for this one please
|
|
config hooks.mailinglist =
|
|
config hooks.emailprefix =
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the general idea is to place the most generic ones (`repo
|
|
@all`, or repo patterns like `repo foo.*`) first, and place more specific ones
|
|
later to override the generic settings.
