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