Hi, My .gitconfig has aliases like the following: [alias] bD = branch -D bM = branch -M Unfortunately, since the current config-parsing code unconditionally runs tolower() on all keys, these aliases don't work. My proposal is to modify alias.c::alias_lookup() to call a git_config_DONTMANGLECASE() variant, and modify the various functions in config.c appropriately. On a related note, it might be useful to warn the user that we are an ignoring alias.<builtin-name> key when executing the corresponding builtin. It's not really my itch, but I suspect a lot of beginners get tripped up by this. What do you think? Ram
