There has been a large discussion around this idea before, see this thread for example [0]. The proposed idea was to have something set in your global config that would only be turned on if you were within a given directory. This would allow you to have two root directories, one for your work projects and one for open source projects (for example) and any git repositories within those folders would each would have their own config options automatically applied based on their location. There was a patch suggested, and it worked quite well, but nothing further has been done to my knowledge. [0] http://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/ Regards, Andrew Ardill
