[PATCH] Make tig call the correct git config command

Hello,

Here is a much needed update fixing multiple regressions from the
introduction of the IO API in 0.13. Among improvements is the much
requested ability to restore the position in the stage view when staging
diff hunks. Also noteworthy is the many optimizations of the screen
updating to make it work better across slow links. Finally, beware that
a handful of incompatibilities can cause problems.

I'm having a problem with tig taking 2 seconds to start up, which
seems to be related to the 'typo checking' feature of git. After
figuring out how to stop strace from helpfully saying
write(2, "WARNING: You called a Git program"..., 137) = 137
I got this (with -s 100):
[pid 29708] write(2, "WARNING: You called a Git program named 'git
config', which does not exist.\nContinuing under the assu"..., 137) =
137
[pid 29708] write(2, "in 2.0 seconds automatically...\n"..., 32) = 32

The output however also contains lots of git config strings, which is
confusing. Is tig running git config twice and failing one of the
times? (Running git config from the cmdline works fine).

Turns out it was as simple as this:

diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index b179389..bdea8de 100644
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac
