Hi, >From the documentation I would have expected
git config --local user.email=alt.email@alt.domain to create a section [user] email=alt.email@alt.domain in the local .git/config. Instead it returns status 1 with no error message. Is this intentional? If I add the [user] section manually, it works as expected/desired: my commits in that tree uses the alternate mail address. git --version git version 2.7.4 Thanks, Knut Omang -- Knut Omang, Ph.D Principal Software Engineer Oracle Linux and Virtualization Engineering ORACLE Norway | Olaf Helsets vei 6 | 0694 Oslo Email: knut.om...@oracle.com | Phone: +47 41 46 22 10
