Documentation/config.txt says this. Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except newline (doublequote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`, respectively). Section headers cannot span multiple lines. Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given subsection. You can have `[section]` if you have `[section "subsection"]`, but you don't need to. There is also a case insensitive alternative `[section.subsection]` syntax. In this syntax, subsection names follow the same restrictions as for section names.
