Git clone task Config sections override [message #1775579]

Hi. I have a Git clone task with a "Config Sections" child to set the default configuration of the master branch as follows:

    <configSections
        name="branch &quot;master&quot;">
      <properties
          key="rebase"
          value="preserve"/>
    </configSections>

However this results in creating a new section, rather than overriding the default configuration property. More precisely the resulting .git/config file contains the following:

[branch "master"]
	rebase = preserve
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
	rebase = true

instead of just

[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
	rebase = preserve

Is there a way to override git config properties?

Thanks

I expect the processing in org.eclipse.oomph.setup.git.impl.GitCloneTaskImpl.configureRepository(SetupTaskContext, Repository, String, boolean, String, String, String, List<? extends ConfigSection>) which does this:

          if (value.isEmpty())
          {
            config.unset(sectionName, subsectionName, key);
            changed |= oldValue.length != 0;
          }
          else
          {
            config.setStringList(sectionName, subsectionName, key, value);
            changed |= !Arrays.asList(oldValue).equals(value);
          }

to do what the method names suggest, i.e., unset the value or set the value, not to add a new value that duplicates. I suspect the structure you have is inappropriate, i.e., I suspect the section name should be "branch", with a subsection named "master", with properties nested in that subsection.
