Two minor nits and one design suggestion:
 - Why rstrip() not strip()?  It appears that this only is helping
   an end-user "mistake" like this:
	git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk, devel, test '
   without helping people who have done this:
	git config remote-bzr.branches 'trunk,  devel, test'
 - Is
     git config remote-bzr.branches trunk,devel,test
   a grave sin?
   In other words, wouldn't we want something like this instead?
	map(lambda s: s.strip(), get_config('...').split(','))
 - Doesn't allowing multi-valued variable, e.g.
	[remote-bzr]
            branches = trunk
            branches = devel
            branches = test
   make it easier for the user to manage this configuration by
   e.g. selectively removing or adding tracked branches?
