Description Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-13 15:00:59 UTC
I'm maintaining one layman managed overlay (xmw) with me as only author, and i was curious if i could use the `layman -a xmw` checkout as basis to author updates - after setting `git remote set-url --push origin git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/xmw.git`.

I'd reduce the variances in my configs (homogenous `layman -l` and PORTDIR_OVERLAYS dlists).

But it deliberately alters config user.name and email

 * Running Git... # ( cd /var/lib/layman/xmw  && /usr/bin/git config user.name "layman" )
 * Running Git... # ( cd /var/lib/layman/xmw  && /usr/bin/git config user.email "layman@localhost" )

What is the intent?
Comment 1 Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-13 15:24:50 UTC
Workaround, remove [user] section with corresponding keys from /var/lib/layman/xmw/.git/config ;-)
Comment 2 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-13 15:25:04 UTC
I think it was added when someone had force-pushed a commit and merge happened to users. Having consistent merge commit done by layman allowed us to push another merge to the repo and unscrew the situation.
Comment 3 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-13 20:29:00 UTC
see bug 433687  which resulted in this commit:

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/layman.git;a=commit;h=faf6c74c1aa866d62137dcf203b3bca7a0e32634

My intention was to be able to make this a per repo setting along with some others.

From this and some discussion on IRC.  I'll add a config option to turn off this setting for now.
