[RFC/PATCH] config.c: Make git_config() work correctly when called recursively

[Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk>]

On Cygwin, this fixes a test failure in t3301-notes.sh (test 98,
"git notes copy --for-rewrite (disabled)").

The test failure is caused by a recursive call to git_config() which
has the effect of skipping to the end-of-file while processing the
"notes.rewriteref" config variable. Thus, any config variables that
appear after "notes.rewriteref" are simply ignored by git_config().

The recursive call to git_config() is due to the "schizophrenic stat"
functions on cygwin, and is arrived at as follows:

  cmd_notes() : builtin/notes.c:1057
    =>copy() @1084: builtin/notes.c:605
      =>notes_copy_from_stdin() @630: builtin/notes.c:418
        =>init_copy_notes_for_rewrite() @426: builtin/notes.c:359
          =>git_config() @384: config.c:876

  *cb=>notes_rewite_config() : builtin/notes.c:329
    =>string_list_add_refs_by_glob() @348 : notes.c:936
      =>for_each_glob_ref() @939: refs.c:815
        =>for_each_glob_ref_in() @817: refs.c:785
          =>for_each_ref() @809: refs.c:729
            =>do_for_each_ref() @731: refs.c:658
              =>get_loose_refs() @663: refs.c:359
                =>get_ref_dir() @368: refs.c:258
                  =>stat() @299: compat/cygwin.h:8

  stat macro => indirect call: *cygwin_stat_fn : compat/cygwin.c:141
    =>cygwin_stat_stub() : compat/cygwin.c:131
      =>init_stat() @133: compat/cygwin.c:115
        =>git_config() @118: config.c:876

[The line numbers are from a somewhat recent version of git, but are
just quoted as a guide; some of them have probably already changed]

While rebasing my 'cygwin-tests' branch recently, this commit conflicted
with e96c19c5 (config: support values longer than 1023 bytes, 10-04-2011),
due to the replacement of the value char array with a strbuf.

I have not sent this patch to the list before, since I had planned to find
a different solution first, so this (updated patch) is more by way of an
extended bug-report! Having said that, it works fine ...

[I had also intended to check if a similar change for the key (currently
limited to MAXNAME) would be a good idea; my initial reaction was no since
we have control of the key names, with only a few exceptions eg. some keys
contain branch names ...]

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
