.ackrc: --smart-case, and --sort-files
Grep is fussy about the order of --include and --exclude. Put my default excludes into GREP_OPTIONS. I have to keep --color=auto in an alias, as grep doesn't respect it in GREP_OPTIONS, it seems.
push.default = simple, being forthcoming default behaviour for Git 2.0, and suited for beginners (like me).
dontchmod: New option since 2.31. When synching with an external FAT drive, in which all the files are "executable" (but that's a story for another day), Unison was trying to chmod 775 all the files it synched onto the Linux box, and it failed in a lot of cases (I don't know why).
Ignore the Subversion book. I need to move this out of my document repository, but in the meantime ...
i3status_append: Prefixes pomodoro remaining time onto my status line.
There is an uncomfortable coupling here between my i3 config and my /usr/local/bin scripts. Needs more thought.
