The git config parser don't look into files that areincluded into the .gitconfig file.

For example:

~/.gitconfig

[user]    name = Ryan Carney    email = email@personal.com[include]    path = ~/.gitconfig_local

~/.gitconfig_local

[user]    email = email@work.com

gitpython_test.py

import gitrepo = git.Repo("test_repo")reader = repo.config_reader()print reader.get("user", "email")

Given the above configuration you would expectgitpython_test.py to printemail@work.com but instead it printsemail@personal.com
