More or less. I did use the config_parse_pair() helper from patch 4, and
there's some textual dependency on his patch 5 (but it would be easy to
rebase).

Exactly. Without (1), then (2) is not nearly as exciting. We could also
implement a non-ambiguous version of "-c", like:
git --config key.with=equals.foo some-value ...
which would also benefit from (2). But I think Patrick's main goal was
to get secret values off the command-line, so he'd want either (1) or
(3) for that.

Yes. I'd be happy to rebase them if we're not going to do the
GIT_CONFIG_{KEY,VALUE}_<n> parts.

Yep.
