1. Background execution is not fully supported. That means you may specify an & terminated command line in the configuration file but the result of the background executed command (stdout and stderr redirection, See section hide) will be overwritten by the result of newer commands and, if an error occurs, you will not see it.
2. When git is compiled for Linux, the default built-in color descriptions are for color monitors, so you can't (decently) run git on a b/w monitor without the .gitrc.TERM file corectly configured. .gitrc.TERM should be configured with AnsiColorSequences = OFF.
3. Job support is implemented only in git.
4. Due to the fact that the ';' character is used as a field separator in the configuration files, you can't write something like that in the .gitrc.TERM files: ^AAA = SHOW-USERS-AND-GROUPS; more /etc/passwd; more /etc/group because 'more /etc/group' will be considered as a directory to switch to. You must write a small script instead:
#!/bin/sh
more /etc/passwd more /etc/group
Supposing the script name is 'show_ug', the .gitrc.TERM line will be like that:
^AAA = SHOW-USERS-AND-GROUPS; show_ug
