[PATCH V3]:All the suggestions in [3] applied. Built on top of [1]. [PATCH V2]: All the suggestions in [2] incorporated. git_config() now follows correct parsing order. Reordered the patches. Removed xfuncname patch as it was unnecssary. This series builds on the top of topic[1] in the mailing list with name "git config cache & special querying API utilizing the cache". This series aims to do these three things, * Use the config-set API to rewrite git_config(). * Solve any legacy bugs in the previous system while at it. * To be feature complete compared to the previous git_config() implementation, which I think it is now. (added the line number and file name info just for completeness) Also, I haven't yet checked the exact improvements but still as a teaser, git status now only rereads the configuration files twice instead of four times.
