The way imap-send.c works is to grab individual values by calling git_config_get_*() functions. The other is to give a callback function to git_config() to iterate over all configuration variables and pick the relevant ones. Once we start doing the latter, the existing git_config_get_*() calls we see above should also be folded into it to avoid mixing two styles for code clarity. IOW, I'd expect (1) The call to git_imap_config() near the beginning of cmd_main() is changed to a call to git_config(git_imap_config, NULL); (2) git_imap_config() function is updated to begin like so: static void git_imap_config(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb) { if (!strcmp("imap.sslverify", var)) server.ssl_verify = git_config_bool(var, value); else if (!strcmp("imap.preformattedhtml", var)) server.ssl_verify = git_config_bool(var, value); else if (!strcmp("imap.preformattedhtml", var)) server.use_html = git_config_bool(var, value); ... to parse the "imap.*" variables the function currently parses, and end like so: ... else return git_default_config(var, value, cb); return 0; } to delegate the parsing of other configuration variables that ought to be read by default. Of course you could also unify in the other direction and instead of running git_config(git_defauilt_config, NULL), pick the exact variables you care about (did you say askpass???).
