v3, 5 partsallow more sources for config values

Hi,

I fixed all the issues I know of so this should be ready for master.

This is an update with the comments of the second iteration[1] incorporated.

[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/217811

Heiko Voigt (5):
  config: factor out config file stack management
  config: drop cf validity check in get_next_char()
  config: make parsing stack struct independent from actual data source
  teach config --blob option to parse config from database
  do not die when error in config parsing of buf occurs

Thanks for working on thsi, but that is 'master after 1.8.3' at this point in the release cycle.

I am declaring patch bankruptcy and will not be picking up new patches that are not regression fixes meant for 1.8.3 or subsystem updates to my tree. I am mildly upset that nobody (including myself) caught the show-stopper regression to cherry-pick, even though it has been on 'master' for more than 20 days.

Please do continue discussing this and other patches on the list, and please do plan to re-submit after dust settles post 1.8.3 release.

Thanks.

Thanks, I think it looks good except for a few minor things I mentioned.
