From: Gerrit Pape Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 11:32:51 +0000 (+0000) Subject: git-config: handle --file option with relative pathname properly X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3.5~50 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ae14a6b52f8f0506780cd361933f717163ae19b;p=git.git git-config: handle --file option with relative pathname properly When calling git-config not from the top level directory of a repository, it changes directory before trying to open the config file specified through the --file option, which then fails if the config file was specified by a relative pathname. This patch adjusts the pathname to the config file if applicable.
