Not very strongly either way.  Seeing the above does not bother me
too much, but I do not know how I would feel when I start seeing

	val = git_config_book(k, v);
	flip_bool(val, &flags, TRANSPORT_PUSH_FOLLOW_TAGS);

often.  Not having to make sure that the bit constant whose name
tends to get long is not misspelled is certainly a plus.
I think it would be even nicer as:

  git_config_bits(k, v, &flags, TRANSPORT_PUSH_FOLLOW_TAGS);
Maybe.  I do not feel very strongly either way.
So I started to prepare a patch for this, because I wanted to see how it
would look. It's below in case you are curious, but note that it doesn't
compile, and that is does something a bit dangerous. So I think I am
giving up on this line of thought. Read on if you're curious.

The sticking point is the type of the bit-field. If it is:

    void flip_bits(int set_or_clear, int *field, int bits);

then we cannot pass a pointer to "unsigned field". We can pass unsigned
bits, but note that we might lose the 32nd (or 64th) bit.

We can do this instead:

    void flip_bits(int set_or_clear, void *field, unsigned bits);

But of course we will end up dereferencing "void *field" as "unsigned *".
I suspect if field is originally an "int" it works fine on most
platforms, but isn't legal according to the standard. Much worse,
though: if your original field is a different size, it's even less
likely to work. Passing a "char *" may set bits in random adjacent
memory (depending on your endianness), and an "unsigned long *" may set
bits in the wrong part of the variable. And because of the "void *", we
get no compiler warnings. :)

Add on top that we may want to use this for C bit-fields, whose address
cannot legally be taken (and this is why it does not compile).

So besides adding type-specific bit-flippers (yuck), I think the only
way to do it universally would be with a macro.  Which I think tips it
over the "too gross, just write it out" line.
