Subject: [PATCH v5 5/5] do not die when error in config parsing of buf occurs

From: Heiko Voigt <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:48:30 +0200

If a config parsing error in a file occurs we can die and let the user
fix the issue. This is different for the buf parsing function since it
can be used to parse blobs of .gitmodules files. If a parsing error
occurs here we should proceed since otherwise a database containing such
an error in a single revision could be rendered unusable.
