Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

input: cd '/'; cd '/'; rm --force --recursive -- './test_git'; mkdir "$_"; cd "$_"; cat >'./config.txt' <<'EOF' [section] key #key = key = value1 key = value2 key = value3 key = value4 EOF git config set --file './config.txt' --value='[2]' --fixed-value 'section.key' 'value6'

output: Segmentation fault $?: 139

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
'./config.txt' has 'key = value6' appended to its end
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

output: Segmentation fault $?: 139

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
