The default options are read only for Cogito calls going through the new cg wrapper which makes it trivial to 'overwrite' them by just calling cg-COMMAMD.

Dear diary, on Thu, Jun 09, 2005 at 03:00:56AM CEST, I got a letter where Jonas Fonseca <[email protected]> told me that...

No, this is the wrong way. The 'cg' wrapper must not really do anything special on its own. It's not a _replacement_ for direct calling of the cg-scripts, it's just an aid for people who don't want to get used to it. So please do this in cg-Xlib.

Also, I'd prefer the config file to be something like ~/.cgrc. I want to reserve the .conf file for something more sophisticated. ;-)

With the optparse stuff in things got a lot easier. I took the idea to check for stole from Dan Holmsands patches to only read it when stdout is a terminal. So the file is really only for interactive usage.

Introduce ~/.cgrc config file. The file is read on startup if stdout is a terminal and may contain information about default command line options. Each line consists of a command name and a list of options. Lines not starting with a 'Cogito' command name are ignored.

To always have cg-log and cg-diff colorize the output put the followig in ~/.cgrc:

log -c
diff -c
