Sourcetree 4.2.9 change ~/.gitconfig safe.bareRepository to explicit on open.

Hi @Dwarven and welcome,

try to edit manually gitconfig and deselect the following option in sourcetree

 

Sourcetree → Settings → deselect:

Allow Sourcetree to modify your global Mercurial and Git configuration files

 

Hope this helps,

Fabio
