Package: git Version: 1:2.1.1-1 Severity: normal This kind of stuff caused me a lot of hair-pulling:
$ git config core.abbrev 32 git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit 89be foo Here's the source of the discrepancy: $ grep abbrev $GIT_CONFIG .git/config git.conf: abbrev=32 .git/config: abbrev=4 Since dc87183, $GIT_CONFIG is ignored by any other Git command, but it *still* applies to git-config. This basically means that values obtained via git-config are not necessarily those which are actually in effect. The really frustrating part (for me, at least) is that for any tool (gitweb in my case) which uses git-config, values from $GIT_CONFIG will take effect for that tool, but not for any subsequent Git command. git-config(1) doesn't make this clear either; it mentions $GIT_CONFIG as "the configuration", without saying explicitly that this environment variable only applies to git-config. I'll leave it to you to determine whether this is a real concern, or merely a documentation issue.
