If 'v' is NULL, you correctly report an error, but then fall through
and invoke xstrdup() with NULL, which invites undefined behavior [1].

You could release the strbuf earlier, which would allow you to 'return
xstrdup(v)' and drop the 'value' variable. Perhaps you want something
like this:

    const char *v;
    struct strbuf key = STRBUF_INIT;
    strbuf_addf(&key, "alias.%s", alias);
    git_config_get_string(key.buf, &v);
    if (v)
        config_error_nonbool(key.buf);
    strbuf_release(&key);
    return v ? xstrdup(v) : NULL;
