Patrick Steinhardt e51e29e8 2017-11-12T13:59:47 config_parse: have `git_config_parse` own entry value and name The function `git_config_parse` uses several callbacks to pass data along to the caller as it parses the file. One design shortcoming here is that strings passed to those callbacks are expected to be freed by them, which is really confusing. Fix the issue by changing memory ownership here. Instead of expecting the `on_variable` callbacks to free memory for `git_config_parse`, just do it inside of `git_config_parse`. While this obviously requires a bit more memory allocation churn due to having to copy both name and value at some places, this shouldn't be too much of a burden.

Patrick Steinhardt 9e66590b 2017-07-21T13:01:43 config_parse: use common parser interface As the config parser is now cleanly separated from the config file code, we can easily refactor the code and make use of the common parser module. This removes quite a lot of duplicated functionality previously used for handling the actual parser state and replaces it with the generic interface provided by the parser context.
Patrick Steinhardt 1953c68b 2017-11-11T17:12:31 config_file: split out module to parse config files The configuration file code grew quite big and intermingles both actual configuration logic as well as the parsing logic of the configuration syntax. This makes it hard to refactor the parsing logic on its own and convert it to make use of our new parsing context module. Refactor the code and split it up into two parts. The config file code will only handle actual handling of configuration files, includes and writing new files. The newly created config parser module is then only responsible for parsing the actual contents of a configuration file, leaving everything else to callbacks provided to its provided function `git_config_parse`.
