When trying to build I get:

* expecting success: 
        git config --get --path path.home > result &&
        git config --get --path path.normal >> result &&
        git config --get --path path.trailingtilde >> result &&
        test_cmp expect result

Segmentation fault
* FAIL 71: get --path

                git config --get --path path.home > result &&
                git config --get --path path.normal >> result &&
                git config --get --path path.trailingtilde >> result &&
                test_cmp expect result

[...]
* failed 1 among 80 test(s)
make[3]: *** [t1300-repo-config.sh] Error 1

Any idea what's up?

Thanks,
Julien
