Two cents. I read the .txt first and my first thought was "is _initl a
typo, shouldn't it be jsut _init"? I know we have this 'l' variant at
least in argv-array, but there we have many ways of adding arguments.
And here it's just "initl", not "init" nor other "initX" variants,
which looks odd. I wonder if the name git_attr_check_init() would do
the job fine, since we don't have different init variants and the
naming convention is not strong enough to tell me "it's multiple
arguments ended with a NULL one" right away. If you're worried about
people forgetting NULL at the end, how about passing an array of
strings, terminated by NULL, instead?
Just thinking out loud. Maybe _initl _is_ a better name.
