Hi,
this patch series adds a way to specify config entries via separate
envvars `GIT_CONFIG_KEY_$n` and `GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_$n`. There's two main
motivations:
1. `GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS` is undocumented and requires parsing of
the key-value pairs. This requires the user to properly escape
all potentially harmful characters, which may be hard if the
value is controlled by a third party.
2. `git -c key=val` is not really suited to contain sensitive
information, as command line arguments trivially show up in e.g.
ps(1).
This new way of passing envvars tries to fix both of those shortcomings.
