Hmm, I am still confused ;-)
Can there be more than one 'i' whose value->items[i].string is the
same as the given value? IOW, if you have "[user] name<EOL>" in
both .git/config and ~/.gitconfig, don't we want to make sure that
we complain on the one in .git/config, which would have taken
precedence if it were spelled correctly?
Your version below makes it very clear that you only complain on the
last one, no matter how many identical copies of the value for the
given key are defined incorrectly the same way, which is easier to
understand what is going on.
