This is not parse_mayb_bool_text(), so "1" and "-1" written in the
configuration file are "true", "0" is "false", like the "bool" case.
I wonder if written without an unnecessary extra variable, i.e.
if (value && !strcasecmp(value, "auto"))
return 2;
return git_parse_maybe_bool(value);
is easier to follow, though, as it is quite clear that it is mostly
the same as maybe_bool and the only difference is when "auto" is
given.

OK.

A false being 0 and a true being 1 is understandable for readers
without symbolic constant, but "2" deserves to have a symbolic
constant, doesn't it?

Likewise.
Thanks.
