Subject: [PATCH] config: really treat missing optional path as not configured
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 11:45:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqikf47ajk.fsf@gitster.g> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqms4g7b1h.fsf@gitster.g> (Junio C. Hamano's message of "Thu, 20 Nov 2025 11:34:50 -0800")
These callers expect that git_config_pathname() that returns 0 is a
signal that the variable they passed has a string they need to act
on. But with the introduction of ":(optional)path" earlier, that is
no longer the case. If the path specified by the configuration
variable is missing, their variable will get a NULL in it, and they
need to act on it (often, just refraining from copying it elsewhere).
