**[Anders Hammar](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=afloom)** commented Should the user have to enable merging by configuraton? That would preserve the current default behavior. BUT, I argue that the current behavior of ignoring the settings of the initiating process is wrong (a bug) and therefore the default behavior should be to use it. I'd even go so far that I'd argue that it shouldn't be possible to turn off. If you want a specific setting you need to specify that in the specified settings file. So here's my proposed solution: * If no settings file is specified in the plugin configuration, use the one of the invoking process. * If a settings file is specified in the plugin configuration, merge it with the one of the invoking process. Coniguration in the specified settings file is dominant. * In both cases the current behavior of local repository should be preserved. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
