Hi,

[ This should have gone out as a cover letter for the patch series
  but some how I didn't manage to make that work ]

While strace'ing builtin-clone I saw this horror:

...
write(3, "remote", 6)                   = 6
write(3, " = ", 3)                      = 3
write(3, "o", 1)                        = 1
write(3, "r", 1)                        = 1
write(3, "i", 1)                        = 1
write(3, "g", 1)                        = 1
write(3, "i", 1)                        = 1
write(3, "n", 1)                        = 1
write(3, "\n", 1)                       = 1
munmap(0xb7f72000, 102)                 = 0
close(3)                                = 0
close(3)                                = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
...

That's just terrible.  And hey, it turns out the code is terrible too.
I think the best solution is to just parse up the entire config file
up front and keep it in a data structure, make the changes and then
write it all out at the end.  That makes it cheap to make a series of
changes too:

	config = open_config(file);
	set_key(config, key1, value1);
	set_key(config, key2, value2);
	set_key(config, key3, value3);
	commit_config(config);

Or something.  Anyway, for 1.5.4 I wrote the following two patches that
fixes the 1-bytes writes and the double close.
