I have a global Git configuration file which sets
diff.noPrefixto false. This meansgit diffwon't producea/andb/prefixes for changed paths.This breaks an assumption in one of the tests:
pliny/spec/commands/updater_spec.rb
Line 29 in 3641a44
There's a lot of settings that may potentially cause Git to behave differently so I'm using the
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBALenvironment variable to prevent ever reading the user's configuration.(I'm not making a note in the changeling as this both seems below the line in terms of importance and shouldn't matter to anyone who isn't contributing to Pliny itself.)
