I am _strongly_ opposed to all that rubbish. _If_ we want to use 
repo-config to preformat the config variables, we should either

1) just use "git repo-config -l" and STFU, or
2) introduce something like "--dump" which Eric implemented.

Everything else is just _complicating_ matters, and for _what_? _Nothing_ 
at all. If we use repo-config for that task, it should cater for parsing 
by _script languages_, not _users_.

I work with XML everyday. It has its uses. But this here problem is _not_ 
one of them. How silly would that be: we parse an easy-to-read format, 
munge the easy-to-handle internal data format into another "easy-to-read" 
format which is then parsed by a script language into an easy-to-handle 
internal data format? No. NO.

Ciao,
Dscho

P.S.: The more I think about it, we should just use the output of 
"repo-config -l".
