Thanks.

What symptoms does this alleviate?  Is this to allow configurations like

	[hooks]
		allowNonAscii = 1

and

	[hooks]
		allowNonAscii
		
to do the expected thing, or is it something more subtle than that?

Curious,
Jonathan

```

Nothing subtle. Just what you list. And for consistency with the other
sample hooks' use of "git config".
