Escaped characters in unquoted values

[filipnavara]

The go-git project uses a forked version gcfg to parse Git .config files. We have recently hit a case that was not handled in a way that is compatible with the parser in Git itself - values that use '\' escaping without quotes around it:

[remote "origin"]
	url = E:\\Git\\emclient\\emclient.git

I don't know whether that is actually a standard for INI files or not, but in go-git it has to be handled for compatibility reasons. I have submitted a PR at https://github.com/src-d/gcfg/pull/1, so you can take a look.

Thanks for the heads up. It seems like in this scenario it would make sense to do what git config does. Will look into implementing it (and your PR) when I have a bit of time.
