That sounds sensible. And ignore anything that do not match.

I do not see any need for this; gitcvs.ext or gitcvs.pserver as
variables do not exist, at least right now. The breakage was
purely that the old parser tried to parse things it does not
even know about (e.g. diff.color) without knowing the rules
there.

No need for this nor the next one either. You understand only
gitcvs.<option> or gitcvs.<method>.<option>, and you know there
is no string that is common in <option> and <method>
