Description Robin Rosenberg

JGit recognized the global configuration file, but not  $prefix/etc/gitconfig

How do we find out?

bash: which git
ksh; whence git
cmd: scan PATH for git

the cmd solution possibly works for all OS:es. However if git is not in the global path we may want a setting for it somewhere since e.g. cygwin often is not in PATH

Then look for ../etc/gitconfg

E.g.:
/usr/local/bin/git
/usr/local/etc/gitconfig
