-The output format consists of key-value pairs one per line using the `=`

-`core.quotePath` (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
+The output format can be chosen through the flag `--format`. Two formats are
+supported:
++
+`keyvalue`:::
+ output key-value pairs one per line using the `=` character as
+ the delimiter between the key and the value. Values containing "unusual"

+ `core.quotePath` (see linkgit:git-config[1]). This is the default.
+
+`nul`:::
+ similar to `keyvalue`, but using a newline character as the delimiter
+ between the key and the value and using a NUL character after each value.
+ This format is better suited for being parsed by another applications than
+ `keyvalue`. Unlike in the `keyvalue` format, the values are never quoted.
INFO KEYS

In order to obtain a set of values from `git repo info`, you should provide
the keys that identify them. Here's a list of the available keys and the
