I understand - with my current patch a user wouldn't be able to override git's config setting so the commit email address will be forced to match. Would a further override in gbp.conf suffice? This would mean that: 1) For most maintainers, no action is required. 2) For maintainers who need different addresses based on package, one change to git's repository config is all that is needed. 3) For maintainers who further need a different git commit address from the changelog trailer, a further gbp.conf override is needed. Would this be acceptable? Robie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
