madduck's git repository

Every one of the projects in this repository is available at the canonical URL git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/<projectpath> — see each project's metadata for the exact URL.

All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

SSH access, as well as push access can be individually arranged.

If you use my repositories frequently, consider adding the following snippet to ~/.gitconfig and using the third clone URL listed for each project:

[url "git://git.madduck.net/madduck/"]

+## CONFIG
+
+There are several ways to turn the various knobs on `vcsh`. In order of
+ascending precedence, they are:
+
+* `VARIABLE=foo vcsh`
+* </etc/vcsh/config>
+* <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/config>
+* `vcsh -c <file>`
+
+Please note that those files are sourced. Any and all commands will be
+executed in the context of your shell.
+
+Interesting knobs you can turn:
+
+* <$VCSH_GITIGNORE>:
+  Can be either <exact> or <recursive>.
+
+  <exact> will seed the repo-specific <.gitignore> with all file and directory
+  names which `git ls-files` returns.
+
+  <recursive> will descend through all directories recursively additionally to
+  the above.
+
+  Defaults to <exact>.
+
+Less interesting knobs you could turn:
+
+* <$VCSH_DEBUG>:
+  Enter debug mode.
+
+* <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME>:
+  As specified in the 'XDG Base Directory Specification', see
+  <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>
+
+  Defaults to <$HOME/.config>.
+
+* <$VCSH_REPO_D>:
+  The directory where repositories are read from and stored.
+
+  Defaults to <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/repo.d>.
+
+* <$VCSH_HOOK_D>:
+  The directory where hooks are read from.
