Fail to delete a branch while syncing if config entries contain multivars (tracking issue)

[samueltardieu]

Description of the bug

If a branch config contains duplicate variables (multivar), it may make git branchless sync exit with an error while attempting to remove the branch.

$ git sync --pull
[…]
The application panicked (crashed).
Message:  A fatal error occurred:
   0: could not delete branch: entry is not unique due to being a multivar; class=Config (7)
   1: entry is not unique due to being a multivar; class=Config (7)
[…]

The error happens when attempting to remove a branch whose config looks like this:

[branch."sam/foobar"]
gitpublishto = [email protected]
gitpublishto = [email protected]

The core issue is located upstream²: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/6722
