From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schinde...@gmx.de> This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config was read.
The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before* creating the .git/ directory.
