I think this is an improvement over ensure_config_read(), but I don't
understand the whole picture. If you want to control configuration and
be sure it is set early, isn't it more natural to put this in struct
serve_options? With your patch, there are still two routes to
injecting configuration: 'struct serve_options' and the git config.

IMO the former is more principled, and the control flow (serve_options
is an argument to serve()) ensures that the options are read only
once.

Putting it in a struct supplied by the caller provides more
flexibility for testing: you could test multiple behaviors from a
single process, by calling serve multiple times supplying different
arguments.
