Ramsay Jones 924aaf3ef7 config.c: Make git_config() work correctly when called recursively
On Cygwin, this fixes a test failure in t3301-notes.sh (test 98,
"git notes copy --for-rewrite (disabled)").

The test failure is caused by a recursive call to git_config() which
has the effect of skipping to the end-of-file while processing the
"notes.rewriteref" config variable. Thus, any config variables that
appear after "notes.rewriteref" are simply ignored by git_config().
Also, we note that the original FILE handle is leaked as a result
of the recursive call.

The recursive call to git_config() is due to the "schizophrenic stat"
functions on cygwin, where one of two different implementations of
the l/stat functions is selected lazily, depending on some config
variables.

In this case, the init_copy_notes_for_rewrite() function calls
git_config() with the notes_rewrite_config() callback function.
This callback, while processing the "notes.rewriteref" variable,
in turn calls string_list_add_refs_by_glob() to process the
associated ref value. This eventually leads to a call to the
get_ref_dir() function, which in turn calls stat(). On cygwin,
the stat() macro leads to an indirect call to cygwin_stat_stub()
which, via init_stat(), then calls git_config() in order to
determine which l/stat implementation to bind to.

In order to solve this problem, we modify git_config() so that the
global state variables used by the config reading code is packaged
up and managed on a local state stack.

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
