Subject: [PATCH] config: warn on multiple values for some fields
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2020 01:43:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200920014315.29934-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Our code doesn't support multi-values for these, and having
unexpected arrays leads to unexpected results (e.g. showing
stuff like "ARRAY(0xDEADBEEFADD12E55)" in user interfaces).  So
warn and only use the last value (matching git-config(1)
behavior without `--get-all').
