Re: [PATCH] config: Add --quoted option to produce machine-parsable output

Johannes Schindelin [off-list ref] writes:

Git.pm could simply do:

	my $eval = `git config --perl --get-regexp 'gitcvs\..*'`;
	my $cfg = eval "$eval";

if you code your "perl" notation to produce:

	+{
		'gitcvs.ext.enabled' => 'false',
                'gitcvs.logfile' => '/var/log/gitcvs.log',
	}

in order to read things in.

Hmm?

IOW, something like 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/36922

Indeed (perhaps except fixing minor details like not hijacking
the variable name).  Care to resubmit with docs and tests?

Well, my version was not good, as Eric pointed out.

Do you want me to clean up Eric's version (according to my own comments, 
that is)?
