With this patch, it is possible to call the gitConfig method with an optional
argument string, which will be passed to the "git config" executable. For
instance:
gitConfig("core.ignorecase", "--bool")
will ensure that you get the value "true", and won't have to check the returned
value for [1, true, on, yes].
