Actually, LF is already handled just fine in the value part:

[proski@dv .git]$ git-repo-config s1.k1 $'v1\nv2'
[proski@dv .git]$ grep [sk]1 config 
[s1]
        k1 = v1\nv2

Note that quoting doesn't solve this problem (unless multi-line section
headers are allowed), but backslash escaping does.

But I guess everybody prefers quotes for their friendly look.
