This variable does not have to be in such a wider scope, I think.

Just in this scope, where "struct string_list_item *item" and
"struct strbuf sb" are declared, is where an extra int variable,
which receives the configuration value, needs to exist.

Also, for a variable that is used only to receive value from
git_config_get_bool(), immediately to be used and then never used
again, we do not need such a long and descriptive name.

We do not need {} around a single statement block.

Taken together, perhaps like the attached.

I'll queue the patch posted as-is for now.

Thanks.
