Description

If an option is specified in multiple configuration files, the value from the leftmost file in the [inherit] file list will be used: trunk/trac/config.py@13892:212-213,215#L202​.

This could lead to confusion if the user expects another value to be picked-up, not realizing the value in another file is taking precedence. Should we log at DEBUG or INFO level if the value is discovered in more than a single file? Or should the behavior just be documented in TracIni#GlobalConfiguration?
