I think it's better to be explicit here. I think the original was less about "implied true", as it was making the assumption that the feature was off in the first place. Now that we've flipped that, just saying "diff.indentHeuristic" is unclear whether you mean the "implied true" of: git -c diff.indentHeuristic diff ... or if you mean setting diff.indentHeuristic at all but aren't saying which (which I think is how the original meant it). I dunno. I guess it is subjective, but IMHO the "=true" is much clearer. -Peff
