When a config path turns out to be the null device, it now records only the file's identity instead of its full file details. The null device is a special empty file that discards whatever is written to it. The record for a path that cannot be read now ends with the correct marker.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are fixes to how git config files are tracked for changes."}
