Syntactically the whole section between the outer dots is the
subsection. So it's:
[hook "pre-commit.check-whitespace"]
command = ...
And I don't think we want to change the config syntax at this point.
Even in the neater dotted notation, we must keep that whole thing as a
subsection, because existing subsections may contain dots, too.

I think we should avoid it if possible. There are some subtleties there,
like the fact that subsections are case-sensitive, but sections and keys
are not.
