Are you looking for value normalization during both setting and retrieving, i.e.

	$ git config vari.able 0 ;# or "no" or "off"
	$ git config --type=bool vari.abble
	false
	$ git config vari.able 1 ;# or "yes" or "on"
	$ git config --type=bool vari.abble
	true

	$ git config --type=bool vari.able yes ;# or "1" or "on"
	$ git config vari.able
	true
