Thank you for splitting this patch up. I have to admit I was too scared
to read the original after seeing the diffstat.

But part of the nice thing about splitting up is that you can write
meaningful commit messages for each individual change. Reading this
commit message, I don't know what to expect.

Your 1/8, though short, tells me what to expect: a trivial rename. But
"clean up config file handling" is quite ambiguous. And after reading
the patch, I am left wondering why the filename and errno are not useful
as part of the die() message. I think even a single sentence would
probably make it clear.

And yes, I know I can look elsewhere in the thread to find the
discussion between you and Dscho. But think of the poor "git log" user
six months from now.
