duplicated git configs

[njia]

Not sure if I am doing it wrong, here is the section of my njia.pp

  'color "status".untracked': value => 'cyan';
  'color "status".branch':    value => 'magenta';
  'color "branch".current':   value => 'magenta';
  'color "branch".local':     value => 'green';
  'color "branch".remote':    value => 'yellow';

when I run boxen, Boxen added these settings individually, and they are added every time I run boxed.

For example I just run boxen twice in a row and I have following settings in my .gitconfig file

[color "branch"]
local = green

[color "branch"]
current = magenta

[color "status"]
branch = magenta

[color "branch"]
remote = yellow

[color "status"]
untracked = cyan

[color "branch"]
local = green

[color "branch"]
current = magenta

[color "status"]
branch = magenta

[color "branch"]
remote = yellow

[color "status"]
untracked = cyan

I'm also seeing this duplication occur each time i run boxen, when setting alias's that are a single character alias, but not for any other aliases i'm setting.

git::config::global { 'alias.s': value => 'status -s' }

yields:

[alias]
s = status -s
s = status -s
s = status -s
s = status -s

Confirmed that this is a bug with ini_file (which this class uses), and not something within this project itself. Was able to reproduce the same behavior with something like this:

   ini_setting { "setup git s alias":
      ensure  => present,
      path    => '/some/path/.gitconfig',
      section => 'alias',
      setting => 's',
      value   => 'status -s',
   }

There is a work around for me if I use --replace-all option then no duplications

[mccrackend]

@njia could you give an example of using the --replace-all option with this?

[njia]

This is part of my boxen Git configuration

# some Git global configs, put them here because they get duplicated if using
# git::config::global
  exec { "Some Git Global Settings":
    command =>
     "git config --global --replace-all color.\"branch\".current magenta; \
      git config --global --replace-all color.\"branch\".local green; \
      git config --global --replace-all color.\"branch\".remote cyan; \
      git config --global --replace-all color.\"status\".branch magenta; \
      git config --global --replace-all color.\"status\".untracked cyan",
    path => "${boxen::config::home}/homebrew/bin",
  }

This didn't work for me and my single character alias values - but I do appreciate you posting your exec statement! I'm going to change these to 2 char aliases and move on with life.

+1 for the single character alias.

@njia is this still an issue?
