Subject: git -c var=val not taken into account by git config?
Date: Mon, 07 May 2012 19:16:51 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FA857E3.5030609@videotron.ca> (raw)

Hi,

Testing color configuration via scripting, I tried the following command:

git -c color.diff=always config --get-colorbool diff false

on a repository with color.diff=auto.

I'd expect "true" as output, but got "false".  "git diff" works as 
expected though.  Is this an exception for "git config"?

Using git version 1.7.10.1.
