[jira] [Created] (NETBEANS-4289) JGit messes up .gitconfig file

Anthony Vanelverdinghe created NETBEANS-4289:
------------------------------------------------

             Summary: JGit messes up .gitconfig file
                 Key: NETBEANS-4289
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4289
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: versioncontrol - Git
    Affects Versions: 12.0
            Reporter: Anthony Vanelverdinghe


In JGit 5.1.9, a new ["feature"|https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/5.1.9] was introduced, which adds JGit-specific configuration to the .gitconfig file.
This is problematic, because (a) my .gitconfig is actually a symlink, and JGit just replaced the symlink with a regular file, and (b) I don't want JGit to touch my .gitconfig at all without me being aware of it.
This was [fixed|https://git.eclipse.org/c/jgit/jgit.git/commit/?id=838b5a84b5093c335b95a644b8888006d9e95493] last November, so any release 5.6.0+ should be good (NetBeans currently uses JGit 5.5.0).
