Just use git_config_get_value_multi. It supplies the_repository.

mm, not the first time I've wanted the equivalent of strbuf_addbuf but
for a string_list...

Could return if this isn't true, and save ourselves the subsequent

Nit: This would be much easier to read if early on there was a:

	struct string_list *list = decoration_filter->include_ref_pattern;

You'd also be able to avoid much of the line wrapping.
