Handling of 'git-config foo=bar'

Currently, running "git-config foo=bar", ie. presumably an erroneous attempt at setting "foo", indeed queries "foo=bar", so outputs nothing and reports success.

Do we want to allow "=" signs in config var names ? It would seem reasonable to refuse them, and report an error to the innocent user (OK, i'm not that innocent, but still ;)

Or does that sound a bad idea to anyone ?
Best regards,
