config: fail if --get-urlmatch finds no value
The --get, --get-all and --get-regexp options to git-config exit with status 1 if the key is not found but --get-urlmatch succeeds in this case. Change --get-urlmatch to behave in the same way as the other --get* options so that all four are consistent. --get-color is a special case because it accepts a default value to return and so should not return an error if the key is not found. Also clarify this behaviour in the documentation. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
