Should have some way to distribute configuration

[James Westby]

Hi,

There are some bits of configuration, such as verify_command, that I
don't really want to have every user have to specify, as it is basically
going to be the same for every user.

It would be great if there was some way for tarmac to pick options up
from the branch, with the ability for local overrides.

Thanks,

James

Can you clarify this a big? How many users are going to be running tarmac? and how many different branches are going to have the exact same test command? Perhaps some simple examples to show what you mean?

Several users may run it.

If you don't have a centralised daemon, then you may have developers do
reviews, then run tarmac to land all the branches.

Currently this requires them each to have the verify_command for a
particular project in their config, which makes changing it a pain, as
they all have to update it.

Thanks,

James
