A use reported a submodule issue regarding strange case indentation
issues, but it could be boiled down to the following test case:
$ git init test && cd test
$ git config foo."Bar".key test
$ git config foo."bar".key test
$ tail -n 3 .git/config
[foo "Bar"]
key = test
key = test
Sub sections are case sensitive and we have a test for correctly reading
them. However we do not have a test for writing out config correctly with
case sensitive subsection names, which is why this went unnoticed in
6ae996f2acf (git_config_set: make use of the config parser's event
stream, 2018-04-09)
Make the subsection case sensitive and provide a test for both reading
and writing.
