I somehow thought that dumb HTTP walker support was on the chopping list for Git 3.0 but apparently it isn't, so updating this remote corner of the system I thought nobody cared about is a good thing.

"set as NULL" -> "set to NULL"? ... and then early in the function, "parse_options()" call will give the options help and exit, without having to consult much of the configuration file. So it is safe to omit reading the config when `repo` argument the caller gave us is NULL. and that would be sufficient. All the rest of the proposed commit log message can also be removed, I think. Thanks.
