Ah -- Stefan and =C3=93scar, you might be misunderstanding? This only changes the configuration in the current repository (your local E= macs repository). It's not changing your ~/.gitconfig -- that is, running = Emacs's autogen.sh won't suddenly affect git's behavior in other repositori= es on your box. You would have to pass '--global' to cause it to take effe= ct in your ~/.gitconfig. Also, note that autogen.sh was *already* modifying the repository-local git= config. Search for "Configure 'git diff' hunk header format" in autogen.s= h. Best regards, -Karl
