Ah. The problem is that we use git_config_int() to parse the command line option which, upon failure, attempts to print a message with config_file_name, which is NULL (since we're not parsing a config file currently). On most systems, printf simply prints "(null)", but on Solaris, it segfaults. But we shouldn't be passing NULL anyway on any system, since it makes the message ugly.
This patch fixes it.
-- >8 -- git_config_*: don't assume we are parsing a config file
These functions get called by other code, including parsing config options from the command line. In that case, config_file_name is NULL, leading to an ugly message or even a segfault on some implementations of printf.
