What
The internal helper that reads a repository's .git/config file (used, for example, to figure out the remote repository's identifier) now returns a structured result with {ok, cause} when it fails, instead of just returning null. The possible causes are pointer_file, read_failed, unsafe_path, not_a_file, and oversize.
Why
This makes failures to read git configuration easier to diagnose, since the specific reason (such as an unsafe file path or a file that's too large) is now distinguishable instead of being an opaque failure.
