Thanks.

I started with this in 'config'

    [V.A]	r = one
    [v.a]	r = two

and did "git config --replace-all v.a.r 1", which resulted in

    [V.A]
    [v.a]
		r = 1

which is "correct", but defeats the "empty section is irritating"
tweak that introduced the bug these patches try to fix, which is
unfortunate.

But then "git config v.A.r 2" would give us

    [V.A]
    [v.a]
		r = 1
		r = 2

So this seems still broken, somewhat.
