Add `git_die_config` that dies printing the line number and the file name of the highest priority value for the configuration variable `key`. It has usage in non-callback based config value retrieval where we can raise an error and die if there is a semantic error. For example, if (!git_config_get_value(key, &value)) { /* NULL values not allowed */ if (!value) git_config_die(key); else /* do work */ } Signed-off-by: Tanay Abhra <tanayabh@xxxxxxxxx> --- Note: git_config_get_string() calls git_config_get_string_const(), so no need to check for whether to die or not, as it is done by git_config_get_string_const().
