Junio,
Look quite good; you made short work of that!
However I don't understand your gitenv_bc, wouldn't the following suffice?
char *gitenv_bc(const char *e)
{
        int i;
        char *val = getenv(e);
        if (val)
                return val;
        for (i=0; i < sizeof(bc_name) / sizeof(bc_name[0]); ++i) {
                if (!strcmp(e, bc_name[i].canonical)) {
                        if (val = getenv(bc_name[i].old))
                                warn_old_environment();
                        return val;
                }
        }
        return NULL;
}

Cheers, Sean
