I think both of these cases should be safe.

It is a bit unfortunate to have to go through these contortions, but
this is definitely the best we can do for now. I think in the long run
it would be nice to have a "--stdin" mode for git-config, where we could
do something like:

  git config --stdin <<\EOF
  key=foo.bar
  type=bool
  default=false

  key=another.key
  type=color
  default=red
  EOF

But that doesn't exist yet, and using it would probably involve
rearranging send-email a bit (we would need an up-front list of all of
the keys we care about and their types). So I'm perfectly content with
this strategy in the meantime.

The Git.pm interface is public-facing, isn't it? Are we breaking
third-party callers of config_regexp here?
