Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Move Git for Windows' system config to its top-level directory's etc/
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 10:46:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.984.git.1624358809.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
Implementation details let Git for Windows' git.exe live in /mingw64/bin
(that is the pseudo-Unix path, of course, the real Windows path will be
prefixed by the actual installation location). This resulted in the awkward
location of the system config in C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig,
and that is what Git for Windows v2.x used for a few years.
A much more natural location, however, is the same path without that mingw64
infix. Therefore, the Git for Windows project switched (back) to that
location for a while now.
It is time to bring that change into core Git.
Dennis Ameling (1):
cmake(windows): set correct path to the system Git config
Johannes Schindelin (2):
mingw: move Git for Windows' system config where users expect it
config: normalize the path of the system gitconfig
