To make gitweb faster I thought about adding to it, or to Git.pm,
simple nonvalidation config file reader. Nonvalidating means that
it would accept some input which git-repo-config considers invalid.

How about something like git-for-each-ref that dumps the entire output
of a config file into an eval()-able string?  That way we don't have to
deal with corner-cases and subtle differences between C and Perl
implementations.

The idea is (at least for gitweb) to avoid cost of fork. And I think
if the format gets documented properly, there should be no differences
in config file parsing.

Please remember also that is first draft of git config file reader
in perl; an alpha version.
