Subject: [PATCH] trace2: prevent segfault on config collection where no value specified

From: "Adam Murray via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2024 00:04:48 +0000

From: Adam Murray <[email-masked]>

When TRACE2 analytics is enabled, a git config option that has no value
causes a segfault.

Steps to Reproduce
GIT_TRACE2=true GIT_TRACE2_CONFIG_PARAMS=status.*
git -c status.relativePaths version
Expected Result
git version 2.46.0
Actual Result
zsh: segmentation fault GIT_TRACE2=true

This adds a null check to prevent the segfault and instead return
the "empty config value" error.
