- * git_config() can't be used here because it calls git_pathdup()
- * to get $GIT_CONFIG/config. That call will make setup_git_env()
- * set git_dir to ".git".
- *
- * We are in gitdir setup, no git dir has been found useable yet.
- * Use a gentler version of git_config() to check if this repo
- * is a good one.
+ * Ignore return value; for historical reasons, we must treat a missing
+ * config file as a noop (git-init relies on this).
