Nope -- at least, not according to both the code, and the tests
(search or noNewline in t/t1300-repo-config.sh).

Though I also note that the documentation disagrees with the code in
the following case:

    Each variable must belong to some section, which means that there
    must be a section header before the first setting of a variable.

  $ cat >bogus
  foo = 42

  $ git config --file bogus --list
  foo=42

  $ git config --file bogus --get foo
  42
