It is possible to break your repository config by creating an invalid key. The
config parser in turn chokes on it.
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/gittest/.git/
$ git config .foo false
$ git config core.bare
fatal: bad config file line 6 in .git/config
This patch makes git-config reject keys which start or end with a dot and adds
tests for these cases.

Fix in t5526-fetch-submodules.sh was posted separately by Jens Lehmann.
Applies on top "Sanity-check config variable names".
