Surely, as git_config_string() gives an allocated string, the
ownership rules should be that the receiving variable/struct member
is responsible for properly freeing it, which means that the current
value must be discarded before the new value is taken.  Looking
good.

I wonder if any of these targets (like the cruft_po_args->window we
see here) can be updated by parsing the command line arguments (with
OPT_STRING)?  It turns out that this worry is not unfounded but you
already covered it ...

... here, so we are safe.

Looking good.

Thanks.
