The gzip path is not configurable at all. Probably it should read the
path and arguments from the config file. In fact, we could even allow
arbitrary config like:

  [tarfilter "tgz"]
    command = gzip -c
    extension = tgz
    extension = tar.gz

Configuration options whose values are appended instead of overwritten
by duplicate definitions are a new concept for git, I think.  Perhaps
it's not a big thing, but I think it's better avoided.

Actually they are not a new concept, but they are quite rare.  `git config`
has even special options to deal with them ('--replace-all', '--add', 
'--get-all', '--unset-all'.

For example "core.gitProxy" can be set multiple times, and of course
"remote.<remotename>.fetch", 'pull' and 'url'.
