If we have a config file like,
[foo]
baz
bar =
and we try something like, "git config --add foo.baz roll", Git will
segfault. Moreover, for "git config --add foo.bar roll", it will
overwrite the original value instead of appending after the existing
empty value. Document these deficiencies in form of a test.

Sorry for this very late reply. I was stuck in a flood affected region
with no internet connectivity for the past week. I am safe now. :)
FWIW, here is the reroll with a set bit in the store struct and an exported
global. I could have done the reroll as you have done, but Jeff had mentioned
that he liked the version with a bit flag more. But you can choose the version
that seems better to you.
