GitPython mangles my .gitconfig #285
Description
I have a couple of aliases in my .gitconfig (which I am slightly embarrassed to share, since they are horrible). When running the GitPython tests, these get mangled from
[alias]
rbi = "!g() { git rebase -i origin/${1:-master} ; } ; g"
expush = "!f() { git branch -f tmp ; { git rbi $1 && git push ; } ; git reset --hard tmp ; git rebase origin/${1:-master}; } ; f"
into
[alias]
rbi = !g() { git rebase -i origin/${1:-master} expush = "!f() { git branch -f tmp ; { git rbi $1 && git push ; } ; git reset --hard tmp ; git rebase origin/${1:-master}; } ; f

forgot to mention:
cPython version: 2.7.9
GitPython version: current master 5fe80b0

Thank you !
This seems critical as it implies that GitPython is rewriting your ~/.gitconfig file while the tests are running ?
Can you confirm I understood this correctly ?

yes, that is indeed the case. It also tries to rewrite /etc/gitconfig, as far as I can tell, but that fails of course.

You can watch the development stream on youtube.

Thanks for fixing this so fast!
