[PATCH v8 0/8] config: allow specifying config entries via envvar pairs

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5672 bytes --]

Hi,

this is the eighth version of my patch series which aims to implement a
way to pass config entries via the environment while avoiding any
requirements to perform shell quoting on the user's side.

Changes were all proposed by Junio and are solely in patch 2/8:

    - Improved the error message to include the the config key when the
      environment variable name is missing.

    - Dropped needless use of env(1) in added tests.

    - The NONEXISTENT envvar is being unset now to fix the case where
      tests may be run with that variable being set by the user.

Please see the attached range-diff for more details.

Patrick
