The discussion in both threads (v8 and v9), boils down to this,
is the `key_value_info` struct really required to be declared public or should
be
just an implementation detail. I will give you the context,
The usage of the above mentioned struct is only required for
git_config_get_value_multi(). With the public struct, the code flow would look
like,

We cannot use git_die_config() here because it is applicable to the last
value for a given variable.
Alternative solution to the problem can be a helper function like this,
git_die_config_index(key, value_index, err_msg, ...) which needs the
value_index for a multi valued one,
+ values = git_config_get_value_multi("notes.displayref");
+ if (values) {
+ for (i = 0; i < values->nr; i++) {
+ if (!values->items[i].string)
+
git_die_config_linenr("notes.displayref", i, "no null values allowed for
:'%s'", "notes.displayref");
+ else ; /* do stuff */
+ }
A callback iterator which supplies the linenr and filename to the callback
function is not helpful, because there are many variable checks in a
git_config() call where multi valued and single valued both reside, so we cannot
use a callback iterator without adding more code cruft.
What do you think, which way seems least obtrusive, or is there an another way
out?
