Re: [PATCH 1/2] gitignore.txt: clarify default core.excludesfile path

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2018-06-27 19:16:47

Todd Zullinger [off-list ref] writes:
The default core.excludesfile path is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore.
$HOME/.config/git/ignore is used if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is empty or unset,
... because $HOME/.config is the default value for XDG_CONFIG_HOME
when it is unset, that is?  If so, the change makes sense.
as described later in the document.
