9/**
10 * The config API gives callers a way to access Git configuration files
11 * (and files which have the same syntax).
12 *
13 * General Usage
14 * -------------
15 *
16 * Config files are parsed linearly, and each variable found is passed to a
17 * caller-provided callback function. The callback function is responsible
18 * for any actions to be taken on the config option, and is free to ignore
19 * some options. It is not uncommon for the configuration to be parsed
20 * several times during the run of a Git program, with different callbacks
21 * picking out different variables useful to themselves.
