An incorrectly defined boolean environment value would result in the following error message: bad boolean config value '%s' for '%s' This is a misnomer since environment value != config value. Instead of calling git_config_bool() to parse the environment value, mimic the functionality inside of git_config_bool() but with the correct error message.
