Here I am wondering whether we have a similar mechanism in git gui like
in core git that makes yes,true,1 equivalents (and similar with other
values) ?

But it is not only yes,true,1 or no,false,0 its a tristate with the
third state 'ask'. For booleans, there is such functionality in git
gui. See is_config_true and is_config_false. Reusing these for this
tristate wouldn't work. The current check here is indeed very strict
and should be loosen by at least ignoring the case, surrounding
spaces, and allow also true/false. But also note, that this variable
can be set via the Options menu, so you can't mistype it.

Well if using git config you can ;-). I just wanted to ask whether we
may already have machinery which supports such tristate.
If we do not I think the current "strict" configuration is fine. In most
cases the user will use the gui itself to configure such behavior so
thats no big deal.
If someone needs that it can be added later on.

Thanks, Heiko

This set of 3 patches looks fine. I was a bit dubious of the new
phrasing for the ask condition but it is growing on me. I wonder it it
might be worth including the number of untracked files to be staged too
eg: "Stage 15 untracked files?"

  set reply [ask_popup [mc "Stage %d untracked files?" \
                            [llength $untracked_paths]]]

I thought about to list the untracked files in the dialog, but
couldn't find a good template dialog for this. But the number is
definitely worth I think.

Loosening the check we can do using
 switch -glob -- [get_config gui.stageuntracked] {
   [Nn]* { set reply 0}
   [Yy]* { set reply 1}
   default { ... }
 }

I think this is too loose ;-)

Heh - I'll add the number in the query dialog and leave the config check
unchanged then.
Thanks for all your work.
