Subject: feat(git): gitcfg, global git config through git itself

list, set, add and unset over git config --global. --fixed-value lets a
write touch one value of a multi-valued key. set and unset check the old
value is still there first: --replace-all with no match appends and exits
0, and the file may have changed in an editor since the page read it.
