Module config 

Reading and writing git configuration through a library.

Spawning git config is not an option: git starts a filter process per operation, so it would be N process spawns on the hot path — most expensive on exactly the platform where it hurts most. Writing only ever touches the repository-local file, which is the only one this tool has business changing.

Functions
