Subject: [PATCH 3/6] config: make a copy of $GIT_CONFIG string
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2019 17:15:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190111221554.GC10188@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190111221414.GA31335@sigill.intra.peff.net>

cmd_config() points our source filename pointer at the return value of
getenv(), but that value may be invalidated by further calls to
environment functions. Let's copy it to make sure it remains valid.

We don't need to bother freeing it, as it remains part of the
whole-process global state until we exit.
