Somewhat repetitive.  Would it make sense to do something like

	add_opt_bool(buf, "no-commit", opts->no_commit);
	add_opt_bool(buf, "edit", opts->edit);
	add_opt_bool(buf, "signoff", opts->signoff);
	if (opts->mainline)
		add_opt_int(buf, "mainline", opts->mainline);
	add_opt_string(buf, "strategy", opts->strategy);
	add_opt_strings(buf, "strategy-option", opts->xopts, opts->xopts_nr);

Are all callers passing a modifiable buffer?  If so, why not make the
parameter non-const?  Is it necessary to modify the buffer to parse it?

Style:

	end = strchrnul(start, '\n');
	if (*end && end > start && end[-1] == '\r')
		end--;

	for (p = start; p != end; p++) {
		...
	}

What is this syntax?

*thinks*  Oh, this looks eerily similar to config.c::parse_value().
Shouldn't the commit message say so?  Why not factor out a function so
they can share code?

Substitution error.

Same questions apply.  Stopping here.

Hope that helps,
