The source we are reading from is created when the sequencer machinery starts and is only written by save_opts() which is called by the sequencer machinery using git_config_set*() calls, so I think it is OK to assume that we won't hit errors that would cause git_config_from_file() to die, at least for now. -- 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
