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.
OK. I thought it wouldn't be THAT easy :)
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???).
The only one we care about for this specific case if core.askpass as user gets prompted to authenticate on his IMAP server. So picking just this one would be simpler. However isn't the other way around cleaner if we happen to depend on another "generic/core" setting ? Nicolas
