We have had a bad reputation for having too many commands; would it be better to present it as a new mode of existing "git config" command at the end-user level, I wonder?

Also after reading patches for a few early steps, I do not quite see "batch"-ness in this protocol; it is strictly "a single request is met with a single response".
