There's a behavior change here, but I think it is the right thing to do.

It lacks a proper commit message though:

As a reminder, your patch "change `git_config()` return value to void"
in the other series did:

--- a/branch.c
+++ b/branch.c
@@ -161,10 +161,7 @@ int read_branch_desc(struct strbuf *buf, const char 
*branch_name)
         strbuf_addf(&name, "branch.%s.description", branch_name);
         cb.config_name = name.buf;
         cb.value = NULL;
-        if (git_config(read_branch_desc_cb, &cb) < 0) {
-                strbuf_release(&name);
-                return -1;
-        }
+        git_config(read_branch_desc_cb, &cb);
         if (cb.value)
                 strbuf_addstr(buf, cb.value);
         strbuf_release(&name);

So, before it, read_branch_desc() was returning -1 iff git_config()
failed, which essentially never happened.

Now, you're retoring a similar "if", but you strbuf_release and return
-1 if no value is found for the variable.

There are 3 callers of read_branch_desc:

builtin/branch.c:       read_branch_desc(&buf, branch_name);
builtin/fmt-merge-msg.c:        if (!read_branch_desc(&desc, name)) {
builtin/log.c:  read_branch_desc(&desc, branch_name);

Only the one in fmt-merge-msg.c uses the return value:

static void add_branch_desc(struct strbuf *out, const char *name)
{
        struct strbuf desc = STRBUF_INIT;

        if (!read_branch_desc(&desc, name)) {
                const char *bp = desc.buf;
                while (*bp) { /* (1) */
                        const char *ep = strchrnul(bp, '\n');
                        if (*ep)
                                ep++;
                        strbuf_addf(out, "  : %.*s", (int)(ep - bp), bp);
                        bp = ep;
                }
                if (out->buf[out->len - 1] != '\n') /* (2) */
                        strbuf_addch(out, '\n');
        }
        strbuf_release(&desc);
}

the (1) part is a no-op if no value is found, but the old code was still
adding a \n in the (2) part, even when no value was found.

So, the new code is better than the old one, but your patch does a bit
more than the commit message claims.
