Thanks for catching that. I missed the strbuf_release in the loop somehow. Will fix in the next iteration.

We where not outputting to stdout before so the test is correct there as well. I extended the test when implementing the non-dying version of git_config_with_options() so I could see the test fail. If just returning the error it would still output the values read until then. So if you think that it belongs into the initial version of this test (maybe including some comment why we need an extra parseable value) I am happy to move it there.

Cheers Heiko
