Subject: Add config_error_nonbool() helper function
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4.2~49
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40ea4ed9032a80c9dba706d6030bd11b08c35f4d;p=git.git

Add config_error_nonbool() helper function

This is used to report misconfigured configuration file that does not
give any value to a non-boolean variable, e.g.

	[section]
		var

It is perfectly fine to say it if the section.var is a boolean (it means
true), but if a variable expects a string value it should be flagged as
a configuration error.
