OK. I will leave a bash-completion patch for you (or somebody else interested) as I don't use it myself.

Assuming you make such a patch, that will clear up the original issue. I wonder if we should fix "git config --list". The current semantics seem a little crazy to me, but it is a scriptable interface. I'm inclined to call this a bug, though.
