According to the man page for git-config, the --git-all option is not
supposed to return an error code:
--get-all
Like get, but does not fail if the number of values for the key is
not exactly one.
IMHO, zero is also "not exactly one", but I still get a 1 exit code if the
key does not exist.
My .git/config says this:
[user "cq.branch"]
mastr = upstream/master
git-config --get-all does this:
$ git config --get-all user.cq.branch.master
$ echo $?
1
$ git config --get-all user.cq.branch.mastr
upstream/master
$ echo $?
0
I just want git to return nothing if the key doesn't exist. I don't want
it to return an exit code. Is there a way to do this? I think either the
code is broken or the documentation needs to be changed.
I'm running git version 1.7.3.4
