Sorry for the wrong version number on the cover letter.
Thanks, for the review, I will check it ASAP.

Also, I tried implementing Junio's request about saving the line number and the file name for each
key-value pair. I had some success, but with some changes,

1. config-hash.c had to be shifted to config.c entirely.
2. string_list util pointer had to be used for each value.

I am appending the diff below, the only changes from version 7 is that, a new struct 'key_source'
has been added and `config_hash_add_value` has been altered a little.

For debugging `git_configset_get_value` prints the line number and file name for each value.
What are your views about it, too late for inclusion? too hackey or contrived?
I has started on a fresh page for it, but I soon saw that I was reimplementing what was already
available in git_config(), so I took this path.

One more thing, Karsten's string-intern API can be used for saving file names as they are repeated a
lot.
