It looks like an undefined value will kick back to the Git::config_bool() case. That's probably fine, as I'd think it's relatively rare (and this is all just optimization anyway). > @@ -353,14 +357,12 @@ sub read_config { > my $key = "$prefix.$setting"; > next unless exists $known_keys->{$key}; > if (ref($target) eq "ARRAY") { > - my @values = Git::config(@repo, $key); > - next unless @values; > + my @values = @{$known_keys->{$key}}; > next if $configured->{$setting}++; > @$target = @values; > } I do wonder what happens for non-bool values here. I.e., would we return a list that contains undef? Before your change, the value comes from Git::config(), and now it comes from our pre-read $known_keys. It seems fine either way: $ git -c sendemail.smtpsslcertpath send-email -1 error: missing value for 'sendemail.smtpsslcertpath' fatal: unable to parse command-line config config --path --get sendemail.smtpsslcertpath: command returned error: 128 but I didn't carefully follow all the paths that config can take. So I raise it only as a potential issue. Your response is hopefully "yes, I thought of that, and it is fine." :) -Peff
