Would you write "git repo-config --perl", then? ;-)

The below patch should be a start (only tested on my fairly standard
.git/config).  A --python option should be easy, too :)

A bit shorter (and gets the booleans right, plus being even easier
towards --python extension):

If we're going down this slippery slope, why not just give up and add
a --xml switch instead?

AFAIR this switch was meant to _enhance_ performance.

That said, parsing the config file as-is can't be so difficult that we 
need to export it to separate files with a different syntax, now can it?

The point is having one parser to rule them all, and avoid having 
different parsers, all with their own set of shortcomings.
