My comment on that version was not about conciseness.  You had one
that called git_config_string() to let the callee do the nonbool
error handling and xstrdup() of the non-error return value, and the
other one that did exactly what a call to git_config_string() would
have done.  That is being redundant, not just failing to be concise.

I was actually hoping that we would see just

int git_configset_get_string(struct config_set *cs, const char *key, char **dest)
{
	return git_configset_get_string_const(cs, key, (const char **)dest);
}

with the implementation of _const() variant be the one from v12.
