Change the configuration parser so that it ignores everything except for ^gitcvs.((ext|pserver).)? This greatly reduces the risk of failing while parsing some unknown and irrelevant config option. The bug that triggered this change was that the parsing doesn't handle sections that have a subsection and a variable with the same name. While this bug still remains, all remaining causes can be attributed to user error, since there are no defined variables gitcvs.ext and gitcvs.pserver.
