In the shorter term, at least we should be able to introduce
git_parse_maybe_bool() that does not take "name", use that as a
helper to implement git_config_maybe_bool(), so that the existing
callers of git_config_maybe_bool() does not have to change.  And
that new helper can be used as your "Basically it, but not
specifically about configs".

Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

Slight digression for a question that came up during reworking the
series: would it be reasonable to rewrite option parsing in
builtin/send-pack.c to use the options API? That way we can easily
reuse the option callback from builtin/push.c. (It would have some
side effects like making --no-* variants work where they did not
before; I assume that's a good thing, but it's marginally inconsistent
with some other plumbing commands like receive-pack.)
