Support for .gitconfig conditional includes

#1

I use conditional includes to separate my personal projects from work for my employer. Because of this, my .gitconfig doesn’t directly contain a [user] section; it’s included dynamically based on the folder I’m working in:

In .gitconfig 

[includeIf "gitdir:Work/"]
    path = .gitconfig-work
[includeIf "gitdir:Personal/"]
    path = .gitconfig-personal

.gitconfig-work

[user]
    name = Mark Bell
    email = [MY WORK EMAIL]

.gitconfig-personal

[user]
    name = Mark Bell
    email = [MY PERSONAL EMAIL]

However, this results in Sublime Merge asking me to enter my name and email address when I commit to any repository, presumably because it can’t find them in .gitconfig and isn’t parsing the conditionals.

As a result, I can’t currently use SM at all, unless I re-specify my credentials for every repository I work on and persist them to the settings for the individual working copy.

I realise mine is a fairly niche use case, but it would be great to get support for this, as it is an established Git feature.

EDIT: Sorry, I have just seen the link to the issue tracker on GitHub, so please ignore this, reposted there instead.

Thanks for posting over there. Hopefully we can track things better with all of the labels and so forth.
