Actually it does. I figured out that it works (and why it works)
when I implemented the GIT repository parser in Java for my pure
Java version of GIT...
For example:
[spearce@spearce-pb15 bob]$ cat .git/config
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
[gitweb]
description = This is a very\nlong line to put into GIT\n\
repo config.\n\
I hope it works.
on = true
[spearce@spearce-pb15 bob]$ git repo-config gitweb.description
This is a very
long line to put into GIT
repo config.
I hope it works.
[spearce@spearce-pb15 bob]$ git repo-config gitweb.on
true
The use of a trailing \ makes sense; the collapsing of multiple
spaces into one space unless quoted inside of "" doesn't.
But whatever...
