Overrides for system and global configuration file locations

[nulltoken]

By default, LibGit2Sharp searches for configuration files in the following places:

• System: %PROGRAMFILES%\Git\etc\gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig
• Global: %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig or ~/.gitconfig

Beside the automatic probing for those files, providing with the user with a way to select different config files may come handy.

Proposed client code (in RepositoryOptionsFixture.cs)

[Fact]
public void CanProvideDifferentConfigurationFilesToARepository()
{
    string globalLocation = Path.Combine(newWorkdir, "my-global-config");
    string systemLocation = Path.Combine(newWorkdir, "my-system-config");

    const string name = "Adam 'aroben' Roben";
    const string email = "[email protected]";

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder()
        .AppendLine("[user]")
        .AppendFormat("name = {0}{1}", name, Environment.NewLine)
        .AppendFormat("email = {0}{1}", email, Environment.NewLine);

    File.WriteAllText(globalLocation, sb.ToString());

    var options = new RepositoryOptions {
        GlobalConfigurationLocation = globalLocation,
        SystemConfigurationLocation = systemLocation,
    };

    using (var repo = new Repository(BareTestRepoPath, options))
    {
        Assert.True(repo.Config.HasGlobalConfig);
        Assert.Equal(name, repo.Config.Get<string>("user", "name", null));
        Assert.Equal(email, repo.Config.Get<string>("user", "email", null));

        repo.Config.Set("help.link", "https://twitter.com/xpaulbettsx/status/205761932626636800", ConfigurationLevel.System);
    }

    AssertValueInConfigFile(systemLocation, "xpaulbettsx");
}
