Hi!

The main change introduced in this v2 is that now `git repo info --all <some.key>` returns the values for all the available keys plus the value of `<some.key>` (which will be duplicated). If `<some.key>` is an invalid key, the command will proceed the same way that it would do without the `--all` flag.

PS: Sorry for sending this v2 after a month. I've been really busy last
weeks, but I still want to finish this :-)
Here's the rangediff against v1:

    -    keys. By using this flag, the user can retrieve all the values instead
