I think we write a header with multiple/related items like this
instead:

    GIT_CONFIG_COUNT::
    GIT_CONFIG_KEY_<n>::
    GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_<n>::

See how -f/--file is marked up in an earlier part of the same file.

Doesn't this <<FILES>> refer to GIT_CONFIG and GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
that are described earlier?  It certainly looks out of place to see
it after the KEY/VALUE thing.

Didn't we got bitten by number of times that the string returned by
getenv() are not necessarily nonvolatile depending on platforms?  I
think the result of getenv() would need to be xstrdup'ed.

With re-indentation this patch does, it is a bit hard to see the
correspondence between common lines in preimage and postimage, but I
think the patch adds the support of the new style environments
before the existing support of the GIT_CONFIG_DATA, but when there
is no compelling reason not to, new code should be added near the
bottom, not before the existing code, in the function.

Otherwise, this part of the patch looks OK to me.

Thanks.
