When showing all config with "git help --all", we print the list of defined aliases. But our config callback to do so does not check for a NULL value, meaning a config block like:
[alias] foo
will cause us to segfault. We should detect and complain about this in the usual way.
Since this command is purely informational (and we aren't trying to run the alias), we could perhaps just generate a warning and continue. But this sort of misconfiguration should be pretty rare, and the error message we will produce points directly to the line of config that needs to be fixed. So just generating the usual error should be OK.
