Perhaps you want something like this: const char *v; struct strbuf key = STRBUF_INIT; strbuf_addf(&key, "alias.%s", alias); git_config_get_string(key.buf, &v); if (v) config_error_nonbool(key.buf); strbuf_release(&key); return v ? xstrdup(v) : NULL; > } > > #define SPLIT_CMDLINE_BAD_ENDING 1 > -- > 1.9.0.GIT -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
