Re: Git to use XDG Base Directory Standard

Lanoxx [off-list ref] writes:

Hi,

Git and Gitk are currently using the ~/.gitconfig and ~/.gitk files in
the $HOME directory. It would be nice to use the XDG Base Directory
standard for the location instead, see [1] and [2]. Are there any
plans regarding this standard?

Git does this starting at 1.7.12. See the release notes, e.g. at
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.12.txt#L18-23
