It was more of an oversight than a deliberate omission, but more
accurately I didn't actively consider whether the other http.ssl*
variables were pathname-like or not.

At the time I was trying to make a config which needed to set
http.sslCAPath and/or http.sslCAInfo more portable between users and
these were "obviously" pathname-like to me. Now that I read
the help for http.sslCert and http.sslKey, I see no reason that they
shouldn't also use git_config_pathname. If I'd been more thorough I
would have proposed this at the time.

Charles.
