+=item config ( VARIABLE )
+
+Retrieve the configuration C<VARIABLE> in the same manner as C<repo-config>
+does. In scalar context requires the variable to be set only one time
+(exception is thrown otherwise), in array context returns allows the
+variable to be set multiple times and returns all the values.
+
+Must be called on a repository instance.
+
+This currently wraps command('repo-config') so it is not so fast.
