Issue with multiple include path in gitconfig

[guyzmo]

cf guyzmo/git-repo#153 when it edits the gitconfig where there is multiple includes, it does not save the modifications in one of the includes.

The place of usage is here. The place where the configuration is extracted is there and stored over there.

@guyzmo Would you be able and willing to contribute the fix?

[guyzmo]

ah, on that one I'm not sure how to solve this… how to correctly change a value and place it back in the included file it comes from?

We might need some brainstorm over here to figure a fix out

[Byron]

Yeah, that looks like a major overhaul on how the config file system is working. Not even git can do it, after all one must specify the destination of any configuration file changes.
A valid fix would be to not allow changing files with includes - just silently discarding changes is definitely not the correct way of handling this.

[guyzmo]

Well, another way would be to just pull the section where you do your change back in the main config, or maybe have it twice (can a section be coumpounded?).
