Extending the previous step, this allows the whitespace placed after
the value before the "# comment message" to be tweaked by tweaking
the preprocessing rule to:
* If the given comment string begins with one or more whitespace
characters followed by '#', it is passed intact.
* If the given comment string begins with '#', a Space is
prepended.
* Otherwise, " # " (Space, '#', Space) is prefixed.
* A string with LF in it cannot be used as a comment string.
Unlike the previous step, which unconditionally added a space after
the value before writing the "# comment string", because the above
preprocessing already gives a whitespace before the '#', the
resulting string is written immediately after copying the value.
And the sanity checking rule becomes
* comment string after the above massaging that comes into
git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() must
- begin with zero or more whitespace characters followed by '#'.
- not have a LF in it.
I personally think this is over-engineered, but since I thought
things through anyway, here it is in the patch form. The logic to
tweak end-user supplied comment string is encapsulated in a new
helper function, git_config_prepare_comment_string(), so if new
front-end callers would want to use the same massaging rules, it is
easily reused.
Unfortunately I do not think of a way to tweak the preprocessing
rules further to optionally allow having no blank after the value,
i.e. to produce
[section]
variable = value#comment
(which is a valid way to say section.variable=value, by the way)
without sacrificing the ergonomics for the more usual case, so this
time I really stop here.

Introduce the ability to append comments to modifications
made using git-config. Example usage:
git config --comment "changed via script" \
--add safe.directory /home/alice/repo.git
based on the proposed patch, the output produced is:
[safe]
directory = /home/alice/repo.git #changed via script
Users need to be able to distinguish between config entries made
using automation and entries made by a human. Automation can add
comments containing a URL pointing to explanations for the change
made, avoiding questions from users as to why their config file
was changed by a third party.
The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment
text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-value-pair in the
same line of text. Multi-line comments (i.e. comments containing
linefeed) are rejected as errors, causing Git to exit without
making changes.
Comments are aimed at humans who inspect or change their Git
config using a pager or editor. Comments are not meant to be
read or displayed by git-config at a later time.

Plumb "struct key_value_info" through all code paths that end in
die_bad_number(), which lets us remove the helper functions that read
analogous values from "struct config_reader". As a result, nothing reads
config_reader.config_kvi any more, so remove that too.
In config.c, this requires changing the signature of
git_configset_get_value() to 'return' "kvi" in an out parameter so that
git_configset_get_<type>() can pass it to git_config_<type>(). Only
numeric types will use "kvi", so for non-numeric types (e.g.
git_configset_get_string()), pass NULL to indicate that the out
parameter isn't needed.
Outside of config.c, config callbacks now need to pass "ctx->kvi" to any
of the git_config_<type>() functions that parse a config string into a
number type. Included is a .cocci patch to make that refactor.
The only exceptional case is builtin/config.c, where git_config_<type>()
is called outside of a config callback (namely, on user-provided input),
so config source information has never been available. In this case,
die_bad_number() defaults to a generic, but perfectly descriptive
message. Let's provide a safe, non-NULL for "kvi" anyway, but make sure
not to change the message.

There is a code path starting from trace2_def_param_fl() that eventually

through it. Additional plumbing is also needed to get "kvi" to
trace2_def_param_fl(), which gets called by two code paths:
- Through tr2_cfg_cb(), which is a config callback, so it trivially
receives "kvi" via the "struct config_context ctx" parameter.
- Through tr2_list_env_vars_fl(), which is a high level function that
lists environment variables for tracing. This has been secretly
behaving like git_config_from_parameters() (in that it parses config
from environment variables/the CLI), but does not set config source

Pass config_context when parsing CLI config. To provide the .kvi member,
refactor out kvi_from_param() from the logic that caches CLI config in
configsets. Now that config_context and config_context.kvi is always
present when config machinery calls config callbacks, plumb "kvi" so
that we can remove all calls of current_config_scope() except for
trace2/*.c (which will be handled in a later commit), and remove all
other current_config_*() (the functions themselves and their calls).
Note that this results in .kvi containing a different, more complete
set of information than the mocked up "struct config_source" in
git_config_from_parameters().
Plumbing "kvi" reveals a few places where we've been doing the wrong
thing:
* git_config_parse_parameter() hasn't been setting config source
information, so plumb "kvi" there too.
* Several sites in builtin/config.c have been calling current_config_*()
functions outside of config callbacks (indirectly, via the
format_config() helper), which means they're reading state that isn't
set correctly:
* "git config --get-urlmatch --show-scope" iterates config to collect
values, but then attempts to display the scope after config
iteration, causing the "unknown" scope to be shown instead of the
config file's scope. It's clear that this wasn't intended: we knew
that "--get-urlmatch" couldn't show config source metadata, which is
why "--show-origin" was marked incompatible with "--get-urlmatch"
when it was introduced [1]. It was most likely a mistake that we
allowed "--show-scope" to sneak through.
Fix this by copying the "kvi" value in the collection phase so that
it can be read back later. This means that we can now support "git
config --get-urlmatch --show-origin", but that is left unchanged
for now.
* "git config --default" doesn't have config source metadata when
displaying the default value, so "--show-scope" also results in
"unknown", and "--show-origin" results in a BUG(). Fix this by
treating the default value as if it came from the command line (e.g.
like we do with "git -c" or "git config --file"), using
kvi_from_param().

Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).
In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.
Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:
- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed
Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.
The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:
- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()
This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().
- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()
This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
more than just parsing.
Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

Add a 'struct repository' argument to 'config_with_options()' and remove the
'repo' field from 'struct git_config_source'.
A 'struct repository' instance was originally added to the config source in
e3e8bf046e (submodule-config: pass repo upon blob config read, 2021-08-16)
to improve how submodule blob config content was accessed. At the time, this
was the only use for a 'repository' instance, so it was naturally added only
where it was needed: to 'struct git_config_source'. However, in upcoming
patches, 'config_with_options()' will need the repository instance to access
extension information (regardless of whether a 'config_source' exists). To
make the 'struct repository' instance more easily accessible, move it into
the function's arguments.
Update all callers of 'config_with_options()' to pass the appropriate 'repo'
value:
* in 'builtin/config.c', use 'the_repository'
* in 'submodule--config.c', use the 'repo' arg in 'config_from_gitmodules()'
* in 'read_[very_]early_config()' & 'read_protected_config()', set 'repo' to
NULL (repository instances aren't available there)
* in 'populate_remote_urls()', use the repo instance that has been added to
the 'struct config_include_data'
* in 'repo_read_config()', use the given 'repo' arg
Finally, note that this patch eliminates the fallback to 'the_repository'
that previously existed for the 'config_source' repo instance if it was
NULL. The fallback is no longer necessary, as the 'repo' is set explicitly
in all cases where it is needed.

If, when parsing numbers from config, die_bad_number() is called, it
reports the filename and config source type if we were parsing a config
file, but not if we were iterating a config_set (it defaults to a less
specific error message). Most call sites don't parse config files
because config is typically read once and cached, so we only report
filename and config source type in "git config --type" (since "git
config" always parses config files).
This could have been fixed when we taught the current_config_*
functions to respect config_set values (0d44a2dacc (config: return
configset value for current_config_ functions, 2016-05-26), but it was
hard to spot then and we might have just missed it (I didn't find
mention of die_bad_number() in the original ML discussion [1].)
Fix this by refactoring the current_config_* functions into variants
that don't BUG() when we aren't reading config, and using the resulting
functions in die_bad_number(). "git config --get[-regexp] --type=int"
cannot use the non-refactored version because it parses the int value
_after_ parsing the config file, which would run into the BUG().
Since the refactored functions aren't public, they use "struct
config_reader".

Fix numerous and mostly long-standing segfaults in consumers of
the *_config_*value_multi() API. As discussed in the preceding commit
an empty key in the config syntax yields a "NULL" string, which these
users would give to strcmp() (or similar), resulting in segfaults.
As this change shows, most users users of the *_config_*value_multi()
API didn't really want such an an unsafe and low-level API, let's give
them something with the safety of git_config_get_string() instead.
This fix is similar to what the *_string() functions and others
acquired in[1] and [2]. Namely introducing and using a safer
"*_get_string_multi()" variant of the low-level "_*value_multi()"
function.
This fixes segfaults in code introduced in:
- d811c8e17c (versionsort: support reorder prerelease suffixes, 2015-02-26)
- c026557a37 (versioncmp: generalize version sort suffix reordering, 2016-12-08)

- 50a044f1e4 (gc: replace config subprocesses with API calls, 2022-09-27)
There are now two users ofthe low-level API:
- One in "builtin/for-each-repo.c", which we'll convert in a
subsequent commit.
- The "t/helper/test-config.c" code added in [3].
As seen in the preceding commit we need to give the
"t/helper/test-config.c" caller these "NULL" entries.
We could also alter the underlying git_configset_get_value_multi()
function to be "string safe", but doing so would leave no room for
other variants of "*_get_value_multi()" that coerce to other types.
Such coercion can't be built on the string version, since as we've
established "NULL" is a true value in the boolean context, but if we
coerced it to "" for use in a list of strings it'll be subsequently
coerced to "false" as a boolean.
The callback pattern being used here will make it easy to introduce
e.g. a "multi" variant which coerces its values to "bool", "int",
"path" etc.

Have the "git_configset_get_value_multi()" function and its siblings
return an "int" and populate a "**dest" parameter like every other
git_configset_get_*()" in the API.
As we'll take advantage of in subsequent commits, this fixes a blind
spot in the API where it wasn't possible to tell whether a list was
empty from whether a config key existed. For now we don't make use of
those new return values, but faithfully convert existing API users.
Most of this is straightforward, commentary on cases that stand out:
- To ensure that we'll properly use the return values of this function
in the future we're using the "RESULT_MUST_BE_USED" macro introduced
in [1].
As git_die_config() now has to handle this return value let's have
it BUG() if it can't find the config entry. As tested for in a
preceding commit we can rely on getting the config list in
git_die_config().
- The loops after getting the "list" value in "builtin/gc.c" could
also make use of "unsorted_string_list_has_string()" instead of using
that loop, but let's leave that for now.
- In "versioncmp.c" we now use the return value of the functions,
instead of checking if the lists are still non-NULL.

We already have the basic "git_config_get_value()" function and its
"repo_*" and "configset" siblings to get a given "key" and assign the
last key found to a provided "value".
But some callers don't care about that value, but just want to use the
return value of the "get_value()" function to check whether the key
exist (or another non-zero return value).
The immediate motivation for this is that a subsequent commit will
need to change all callers of the "*_get_value_multi()" family of
functions. In two cases here we (ab)used it to check whether we had
any values for the given key, but didn't care about the return value.
The rest of the callers here used various other config API functions
to do the same, all of which resolved to the same underlying functions
to provide the answer.
Some of these were using either git_config_get_string() or
git_config_get_string_tmp(), see fe4c750fb1 (submodule--helper: fix a
configure_added_submodule() leak, 2022-09-01) for a recent example. We
can now use a helper function that doesn't require a throwaway
variable.
We could have changed git_configset_get_value_multi() (and then
git_config_get_value() etc.) to accept a "NULL" as a "dest" for all
callers, but let's avoid changing the behavior of existing API
users. Having an "unused" value that we throw away internal to
config.c is cheap.
A "NULL as optional dest" pattern is also more fragile, as the intent
of the caller might be misinterpreted if he were to accidentally pass
"NULL", e.g. when "dest" is passed in from another function.
Another name for this function could have been
"*_config_key_exists()", as suggested in [1]. That would work for all
of these callers, and would currently be equivalent to this function,
as the git_configset_get_value() API normalizes all non-zero return
values to a "1".
But adding that API would set us up to lose information, as e.g. if
git_config_parse_key() in the underlying configset_find_element()
fails we'd like to return -1, not 1.
Let's change the underlying configset_find_element() function to
support this use-case, we'll make further use of it in a subsequent
commit where the git_configset_get_value_multi() function itself will
expose this new return value.
This still leaves various inconsistencies and clobbering or ignoring
of the return value in place. E.g here we're modifying
configset_add_value(), but ever since it was added in [2] we've been
ignoring its "int" return value, but as we're changing the
configset_find_element() it uses, let's have it faithfully ferry that
"ret" along.
Let's also use the "RESULT_MUST_BE_USED" macro introduced in [3] to
assert that we're checking the return value of
configset_find_element().
We're leaving the same change to configset_add_value() for some future
series. Once we start paying attention to its return value we'd need
to ferry it up as deep as do_config_from(), and would need to make
least read_{,very_}early_config() and git_protected_config() return an
"int" instead of "void". Let's leave that for now, and focus on
the *_get_*() functions.

There will be two primary ways to advertise a bundle list: as a list of
packet lines in Git's protocol v2 and as a config file served from a
bundle URI. Both of these fundamentally use a list of key-value pairs.
We will use the same set of key-value pairs across these formats.
Create a new bundle_list_update() method that is currently unusued, but
will be used in the next change. It inspects each key to see if it is
understood and then applies it to the given bundle_list. Here are the
keys that we teach Git to understand:
* bundle.version: This value should be an integer. Git currently
understands only version 1 and will ignore the list if the version is
any other value. This version can be increased in the future if we
need to add new keys that Git should not ignore. We can add new
"heuristic" keys without incrementing the version.
* bundle.mode: This value should be one of "all" or "any". If this
mode is not understood, then Git will ignore the list. This mode
indicates whether Git needs all of the bundle list items to make a
complete view of the content or if any single item is sufficient.
The rest of the keys use a bundle identifier "<id>" as part of the key
name. Keys using the same "<id>" describe a single bundle list item.
* bundle.<id>.uri: This stores the URI of the bundle item. This
currently is expected to be an absolute URI, but will be relaxed to be
a relative URI in the future.
While parsing, return an error if a URI key is repeated, since we can
make that restriction with bundle lists.
Make the git_parse_int() method global so we can parse the integer
version value carefully.

`uploadpack.packObjectsHook` is the only 'protected configuration only'
variable today, but we've noted that `safe.directory` and the upcoming
`safe.bareRepository` should also be 'protected configuration only'. So,
for consistency, we'd like to have a single implementation for protected
configuration.
The primary constraints are:
1. Reading from protected configuration should be fast. Nearly all "git"
commands inside a bare repository will read both `safe.directory` and
`safe.bareRepository`, so we cannot afford to be slow.
2. Protected configuration must be readable when the gitdir is not
known. `safe.directory` and `safe.bareRepository` both affect
repository discovery and the gitdir is not known at that point [1].
The chosen implementation in this commit is to read protected
configuration and cache the values in a global configset. This is
similar to the caching behavior we get with the_repository->config.
Introduce git_protected_config(), which reads protected configuration
and caches them in the global configset protected_config. Then, refactor
`uploadpack.packObjectsHook` to use git_protected_config().
The protected configuration functions are named similarly to their
non-protected counterparts, e.g. git_protected_config_check_init() vs
git_config_check_init().
In light of constraint 1, this implementation can still be improved.
git_protected_config() iterates through every variable in
protected_config, which is wasteful, but it makes the conversion simple
because it matches existing patterns. We will likely implement constant
time lookup functions for protected configuration in a future series
(such functions already exist for non-protected configuration, i.e.
repo_config_get_*()).
An alternative that avoids introducing another configset is to continue
to read all config using git_config(), but only accept values that have
the correct config scope [2]. This technically fulfills constraint 2,
because git_config() simply ignores the local and worktree config when
the gitdir is not known. However, this would read incomplete config into
the_repository->config, which would need to be reset when the gitdir is
known and git_config() needs to read the local and worktree config.
Resetting the_repository->config might be reasonable while we only have
these 'protected configuration only' variables, but it's not clear
whether this extends well to future variables.
[1] In this case, we do have a candidate gitdir though, so with a little
refactoring, it might be possible to provide a gitdir.
[2] This is how `uploadpack.packObjectsHook` was implemented prior to
this commit.

Move fsmonitor config settings to a new and opaque
`struct fsmonitor_settings` structure. Add a lazily-loaded pointer
to this into `struct repo_settings`
Create an `enum fsmonitor_mode` type in `struct fsmonitor_settings` to
represent the state of fsmonitor. This lets us represent which, if
any, fsmonitor provider (hook or IPC) is enabled.
Create `fsm_settings__get_*()` getters to lazily look up fsmonitor-
related config settings.
Get rid of the `core_fsmonitor` global variable. Move the code to
lookup the existing `core.fsmonitor` config value into the fsmonitor
settings.
Create a hook pathname variable in `struct fsmonitor-settings` and
only set it when in hook mode.
Extend the definition of `core.fsmonitor` to be either a boolean
or a hook pathname. When true, the builtin FSMonitor is used.
When false or unset, no FSMonitor (neither builtin nor hook) is
used.
The existing `core_fsmonitor` global variable was used to store the
pathname to the fsmonitor hook *and* it was used as a boolean to see
if fsmonitor was enabled. This dual usage and global visibility leads
to confusion when we add the IPC-based provider. So lets hide the
details in fsmonitor-settings.c and let it decide which provider to
use in the case of multiple settings. This avoids cluttering up
repo-settings.c with these private details.
A future commit in builtin-fsmonitor series will add the ability to
disqualify worktrees for various reasons, such as being mounted from a
remote volume, where fsmonitor should not be started. Having the
config settings hidden in fsmonitor-settings.c allows such worktree
restrictions to override the config values used.

Some config settings, such as those for sparse-checkout, are likely
intended to only apply to one worktree at a time. To make this write
easier, add a new config API method, repo_config_set_worktree_gently().
This method will attempt to write to the worktree-specific config, but
will instead write to the common config file if worktree config is not
enabled. The next change will introduce a consumer of this method.

This is a feature that supports config file inclusion conditional on
whether the repo has a remote with a URL that matches a glob.
Similar to my previous work on remote-suggested hooks [1], the main
motivation is to allow remote repo administrators to provide recommended
configs in a way that can be consumed more easily (e.g. through a
package installable by a package manager - it could, for example,
contain a file to be included conditionally and a post-install script
that adds the include directive to the system-wide config file).
In order to do this, Git reruns the config parsing mechanism upon
noticing the first URL-conditional include in order to find all remote
URLs, and these remote URLs are then used to determine if that first and
all subsequent includes are executed. Remote URLs are not allowed to be
configued in any URL-conditionally-included file.

The git_config_key_is_valid() function got left behind in a
refactoring in a9bcf6586d (alias: use the early config machinery to
expand aliases, 2017-06-14),
It previously had two users when it was added in 9e9de18f1a (config:
silence warnings for command names with invalid keys, 2015-08-24), and
after 6a1e1bc0a1 (pager: use callbacks instead of configset,
2016-09-12) only one remained.
By removing it we can get rid of the "quiet" branches in this
function, as well as cases where "store_key" is NULL, for which there
are no other users.
Out of the 5 callers of git_config_parse_key() only one needs to pass
a non-NULL "size_t *baselen_", so we could remove the third parameter
from the public interface. I did not find that potential
simplification to be worthwhile.

There's two callsites which assemble global config paths, once in the

to implement a way to override global config paths via an environment

Unify both code paths into a single `git_global_config()` function which

the configuration file. We're about to introduce a way to override it
via an environment variable, at which point the name of this function
would start to become misleading.
Rename the function to `git_system_config()` as a preparatory step.
While at it, the function is also refactored to pass memory ownership to

Introduce two new ways to feed configuration variable-value pairs
via environment variables, and tweak the way GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
encodes variable/value pairs to make it more robust.
* ps/config-env-pairs:
config: allow specifying config entries via envvar pairs
environment: make `getenv_safe()` a public function
config: store "git -c" variables using more robust format
config: parse more robust format in GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
config: extract function to parse config pairs
quote: make sq_dequote_step() a public function
config: add new way to pass config via `--config-env`
git: add `--super-prefix` to usage string
While it's already possible to pass runtime configuration via `git -c
<key>=<value>`, it may be undesirable to use when the value contains
sensitive information. E.g. if one wants to set `http.extraHeader` to
contain an authentication token, doing so via `-c` would trivially leak
those credentials via e.g. ps(1), which typically also shows command
arguments.
To enable this usecase without leaking credentials, this commit
introduces a new switch `--config-env=<key>=<envvar>`. Instead of
directly passing a value for the given key, it instead allows the user
to specify the name of an environment variable. The value of that
variable will then be used as value of the key.

The git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() and related methods now
take a 'flags' bitfield, so add a new bit representing the --fixed-value
option from 'git config'. This alters the purpose of the value_pattern
parameter to be an exact string match. This requires some initialization
changes in git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() and a new strcmp()
call in the matches() method.
The new CONFIG_FLAGS_FIXED_VALUE flag is initialized in builtin/config.c
based on the --fixed-value option, and that needs to be updated in
several callers.
This patch only affects some of the modes of 'git config', and the rest

The 'value_regex' argument in the 'git config' builtin is poorly named,
especially related to an upcoming change that allows exact string
matches instead of ERE pattern matches.
Perform a mostly mechanical change of every instance of 'value_regex' to
'value_pattern' in the codebase. This is only critical for documentation
and error messages, but it is best to be consistent inside the codebase,
too.
For documentation, use 'value-pattern' which is better punctuation. This
affects Documentation/git-config.txt and the usage in builtin/config.c,
which was already mixed between 'value_regex' and 'value-regex'.
I gave some thought to leaving the value_regex variables inside config.c
that are regex_t pointers. However, it is probably best to keep the name
consistent with the rest of the variables.
This does not update the translations inside the po/ directory, as that
creates conflicts with ongoing work. The input strings should
automatically update through automation, and a few of the output strings
currently use "[value_regex]" directly.

As evidenced by the leak fixes in the previous commit, the "const" in
git_config_get_string_const() clearly misleads people into thinking that
it does not allocate a copy of the string. We can fix this by renaming
it, but it's easier still to just drop it. Of the four remaining
callers:
- The one in git_config_parse_expiry() still needs to allocate, since
that's what its callers expect. We can just use the non-const
version and cast our pointer. Slightly ugly, but the damage is
contained in one spot.
- The two in apply are writing to global "const char *" variables, and
need to continue allocating. We often mark these as const because we
assign default string literals to them. But in this case we don't do
that, so we can just declare them as real "char *" pointers and use
the non-const version.
- The call in checkout doesn't actually need a copy; it can just use
the non-allocating "tmp" version of the function.
The function is also mentioned in the MyFirstContribution document. We
can swap that call out for the non-allocating "tmp" variant, which fits
well in the example given.
We'll drop the "configset" and "repo" variants, as well (which are
unused).
Note that this frees up the "const" name, so we could rename the "tmp"
variant back to that. But let's give some time for topics in flight to
adapt to the new code before doing so (if we do it too soon, the
function semantics will change but the compiler won't alert us).

There are two functions to get a single config string:
- git_config_get_string()
- git_config_get_string_const()
One might naively think that the first one allocates a new string and
the second one just points us to the internal configset storage. But
in fact they both allocate a new copy; the second one exists only to
avoid having to cast when using it with a const global which we never
intend to free.
The documentation for the function explains that clearly, but it seems
I'm not alone in being surprised by this. Of 17 calls to the function,
13 of them leak the resulting value.
We could obviously fix these by adding the appropriate free(). But it
would be simpler still if we actually had a non-allocating way to get
the string. There's git_config_get_value() but that doesn't quite do
what we want. If the config key is present but is a boolean with no
value (e.g., "[foo]bar" in the file), then we'll get NULL (whereas the
string versions will print an error and die).
So let's introduce a new variant, git_config_get_string_tmp(), that
behaves as these callers expect. We need a new name because we have new
semantics but the same function signature (so even if we converted the
four remaining callers, topics in flight might be surprised). The "tmp"
is because this value should only be held onto for a short time. In
practice it's rare for us to clear and refresh the configset,
invalidating the pointer, but hopefully the "tmp" makes callers think
about the lifetime. In each of the converted cases here the value only
needs to last within the local function or its immediate caller.

As with the recent change to parse_config_key(), the best type to return
a string length is a size_t, as it won't cause integer truncation for a
gigantic key. And as with that change, this is mostly a clarity /
hygiene issue for now, as our config parser would choke on such a large
key anyway.
There are a few ripple effects within the config code, as callers switch
to using size_t. I also adjusted a few related variables that iterate
over strings. The most unexpected change is that a call to strbuf_addf()
had to switch to strbuf_add(). We can't use a size_t with "%.*s",
because printf precisions must have type "int" (we could cast, of
course, but that would miss the point of using size_t in the first
place).

We return the length to a subset of a string using an "int *"
out-parameter. This is fine most of the time, as we'd expect config keys
to be relatively short, but it could behave oddly if we had a gigantic
config key. A more appropriate type is size_t.
Let's switch over, which lets our callers use size_t as appropriate
(they are bound by our type because they must pass the out-parameter as
a pointer). This is mostly just a cleanup to make it clear this code
handles long strings correctly. In practice, our config parser already
chokes on long key names (because of a similar int/size_t mixup!).
When doing an int/size_t conversion, we have to be careful that nobody
was trying to assign a negative value to the variable. I manually
confirmed that for each case here. They tend to just feed the result to
xmemdupz() or similar; in a few cases I adjusted the parameter types for
helper functions to make sure the size_t is preserved.
