Re: [PATCH] send-email: Fix %config_path_settings handling

From: Cord Seele <redacted>

cec5dae (use new Git::config_path() for aliasesfile, 2011-09-30) broke
the expansion of aliases.

This was caused by treating %config_path_settings, newly introduced in
said patch, like %config_bool_settings instead of like %config_settings.
Copy from %config_settings, making it more readable.

While at it add basic test for expansion of aliases, and for path
expansion, which would catch this error.


Nb. there were a few issues that were responsible for this error:

1. %config_bool_settings and %config_settings despite similar name have
   different semantic.

   %config_bool_settings values are arrays where the first element is
   (reference to) the variable to set, and second element is default
   value... which admittedly is a bit cryptic.  More readable if more
   verbose option would be to use hash reference, e.g.:

        my %config_bool_settings = (
            "thread" => { variable => \$thread, default => 1},
            [...]

   %config_settings values are either either reference to scalar variable
   or reference to array.  In second case it means that option (or config
   option) is multi-valued.  BTW. this is similar to what Getopt::Long does.

2. In cec5dae (use new Git::config_path() for aliasesfile, 2011-09-30)
   the setting "aliasesfile" was moved from %config_settings to newly
   introduced %config_path_settings.  But the loop that parses settings
   from %config_path_settings was copy'n'pasted *wrongly* from
   %config_bool_settings instead of from %config_settings.

   It looks like cec5dae author cargo-culted this change...

   Or something like that.

Do you really want to leave this "Or something like that" here?

Removed.  

"e.g." should be enough.

I was hoping that an updated patch to have a new test or two here...

Done.  I thought to add it in separate patch...

Is this the version tested by Michael?

This one is.
