[PATCH v2 5/9] Make read_early_config() reusable

From
Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date
Mar 3, 2017, 02:04 UTC
Message-ID
<64135c6df520c1ca6a6e667855ac03c14d2dd153.1488506615.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1488506615.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The pager configuration needs to be read early, possibly before discovering any .git/ directory.

Let's not hide this function in pager.c, but make it available to other callers.
