RE: checking in links to source control

[Jeff King]

How does something that "implies a build system" have a drawback "as far as
maintainability"?

Setup a Common or PerlCommon module in your repository. Control the
Config::INI in that module. This makes it clear that the file doesn't belong
to a specific project and doesn't require multiple global copies or a shared
network drive.
