[PATCH v2 8/9] submodule--helper: handle config errors

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jan 28, 2016, 09:00 UTC
Message-ID
<1453971637-22273-9-git-send-email-ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<1453971637-22273-1-git-send-email-ps@pks.im>

When setting the 'core.worktree' option for a newly cloned submodule we ignore the return value of `git_config_set_in_file`. Instead, we want to inform the user that something has gone wrong by printing an error message and aborting the program.
