Actually it does.  I figured out that it works (and why it works)
when I implemented the GIT repository parser in Java for my pure
Java version of GIT...

For example:

  [spearce@spearce-pb15 bob]$ cat .git/config 
  [core]
          repositoryformatversion = 0
          filemode = true
  [gitweb]
          description = This is a very\nlong line to put into GIT\n\
  repo config.\n\
  I hope it works.
          on = true
  [spearce@spearce-pb15 bob]$ git repo-config gitweb.description
  This is a very
  long line to put into GIT
  repo config.
  I hope it works.
  [spearce@spearce-pb15 bob]$ git repo-config gitweb.on
  true

The use of a trailing \ makes sense; the collapsing of multiple
spaces into one space unless quoted inside of "" doesn't.
But whatever...
