Usage can be like this,

if(!git_config_get_value(k, &v)) {
        if (!v) {
                config_error_nonbool(k);
                die_config(k);
                /* die_config calls git_config_get_value_multi for 'k',
                 * gets the string list with the util pointer containing
                 * the linenr and the file name, dies printing the message.
                 */
        } else
                /* do work */
}

Above example works just like the current code. Currently the callbacks
does not have the access to the linenr and file name anyway.
