There is nothing Emacs-specific on those settings, so this argument is not valid. Paul and Karl: I know you are doing this on good faith and I appreciate your efforts, but this approach of changing the .git/config file (and the emacs' .git/config file is also on my system, Karl) is a bit worrying. If the change produces some side-effect, it's the user who is in charge of investigating what's going on and imagine his surprise when, after looking at .git/config in desperation, he sees it edited. >> The Emacs build process has no bussiness on sneaking config changes that >> affects how tools work on my system > > Yes, the developer should be told.

Thanks, but I would prefer a `make' target or script and a mention on CONTRIBUTING about all the good it will cause if the user ever decides to execute it.
