Is that an error, or would we use the one from the > overlay? Oh, you are correct. Originally I planned to handle that, and I forgot about it. Since there can be multiple paths, we have two options: either override, or amend like systemd does with *.d files. I think the former would be less surprising. Override is simple -- entry from next file overrides previous, and discards all data. Amending is harder. Description from next file overrides former, but paths are appended. But there is special 'path=' (empty) that discards all previous values and starts over. I don't think that's really a good idea for repos. -- Michał Górny
