I was new to git when I firstly wrote the code, I picked up the style
by copying from builtin/config.c (collect_config() and
show_all_config()) because I was focusing more on the functionality and
didn't bother to harmonize the style with the destination file.

It is true that git_config_parse_key_1() allocates some storage even
for an invalid key, and uses the space to lowercase the key as the
parsing progresses, however it also frees the memory in the *error*
path.
So unless I am missing something I don't think there is a leak here.

You are probably right, IIRC the function was firstly written before
check_submodule_name() was there. And I didn't think of moving it up
when I rebased after check_submodule_name() was added.
Your same remark may apply to the new function added in patch 02.
I'll wait for other comments to see if a v5 is really needed.
Thanks for the review Ævar.
Ciao,
