Re: [PATCH 0/8] builtin/config: canonicalize "value_regex" with `--type=bool[-or-int]`

  git config --type=bool --name-only --get-regexp '^foo\.' true

This patch series teaches `git config` to canonicalize the incoming
"value_regex" ("true" in the example above), then canonicalize candidate
values as we go through the config. Or if you will, `git config` learns
a brand new type of regex, corresponding to the different ways there are
of spelling "true" and "false", respectively.

Nice ;-)

`--type=bool-or-int` gets the same treatment, except we need to to be
able to handle the ints and regexes matching particular ints that we
must expect.

Hmm, so I can say 1024k or 1m and that would match 1048576?  

Doubly nice.

Looking forward to reading it thru.
