Nit: callling this `env` assumes a bit too much about what this buffer
is going to be used for. I'd have called it just `buf`.

Are we ever likely to use this outside of GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS? If not then
I think env is a good name because it hints at where this function is used.
Isn't the whole point of this function to allow us to append settings an
environment variable?

Potentially, even though this function doesn't really require that at
all. So it may or may not be used outside this current use case.

Anway, as I've said it's only a nit, so I won't insist on a change here.
