From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@xxxxxxxxxx> The git_die_config() method calls git_config_get_value_multi() but immediately navigates to its first value without checking if the result is NULL or empty. Callers should only call git_die_config() if there is at least one value for the given 'key', but such a mistaken use might slip through. It would be better to show a BUG() statement than a possible segfault.
