Well to begin with, I'm actually doing this in response to this issue [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues/398]. The issue was created because of the following mail thread, though. [https://public-inbox.org/git/20180601200146.114919-1-sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx/] To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about how making these changes would help, as my experience is still quite limited. But from what I've read, I think the main use-case would be using const `strbuf`s to avoid memory leaks when dealing with config strings.
