I personally do not think "remaining agnostic on the usage" is a good thing, at least for any option to commands at the higher level on the stack, such as "git submodule". I am afraid that giving an easier way to set up a variable with undefined semantics may make setup more confusing for all parties. One party gives one specific meaning to the field, while another party uses it for something slightly different. I would not object to "git config submodule.$name.branch $value", on the other hand. "git config" can be used to set a piece of data that has specific meaning, but as a low-level tool, it is not _limited_ to variables that have defined meaning. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
