Ah, I should have read all your responses before answering the last
email. I think handle_path_include is surmountable, and I started to do
a proof-of-concept patch, but there's a harder one: die_bad_config,
which is called from git_config_int and friends. Getting the "cf"
pointer there is hard, because you would have to update every config
callback that uses git_config_int. Not worth it, I think.

Thanks for looking, though.
