Yeah, I don't mind a read_in_full() version. Config isn't _supposed_ to be big (and if it is you're in trouble anyway, because I'm pretty sure we still parse it several times per command invocation). I don't think that removes the issues I've mentioned with git_config_from_file() being too quiet. But it solves the ferror() question (though I think we pretty much return immediately from the parser on EOF, so it's _probably_ OK to use it like in the diff I just sent). -Peff
