+ * Query the value of a config variable and return it mapped to

+ * This is a helper method to easily map different possible values
+ * to a variable to integer constants that easily identify them.
+ *
+ * A mapping array looks as follows:
+ *
+ *	git_cvar_map autocrlf_mapping[3] = {
+ *		{GIT_CVAR_FALSE, NULL, GIT_AUTO_CRLF_FALSE},
+ *		{GIT_CVAR_TRUE, NULL, GIT_AUTO_CRLF_TRUE},

+ *		{GIT_CVAR_STRING, "default", GIT_AUTO_CRLF_DEFAULT}};
+ *
+ * On any "false" value for the variable (e.g. "false", "FALSE", "no"), the
+ * mapping will store `GIT_AUTO_CRLF_FALSE` in the `out` parameter.
+ *
+ * The same thing applies for any "true" value such as "true", "yes" or "1", storing
+ * the `GIT_AUTO_CRLF_TRUE` variable.
+ *
+ * Otherwise, if the value matches the string "input" (with case insensitive comparison),
+ * the given constant will be stored in `out`, and likewise for "default".
+ *
+ * If not a single match can be made to store in `out`, an error code will be
+ * returned.
+ *
+ * @param cfg config file to get the variables from
+ * @param name name of the config variable to lookup
+ * @param maps array of `git_cvar_map` objects specifying the possible mappings
+ * @param map_n number of mapping objects in `maps`
+ * @param out place to store the result of the mapping
+ * @return GIT_SUCCESS on success, error code otherwise
